Back to my mac doesn't work with Cable modem

I have at home Cable modem and a Airport Extreme, both use NAT to distribute internet, so it seems even if I connect the cable modem direct to my home Mac (without the Airport) that the Back to my mac doesn't work. Can somebody tell me how can I turn around this problem? Doesn anybody has it too?
The Back to my Mac panel displays this message when I have the Airport Extreme distribuiting the Internet: Back to My Mac isn't working properly because you may have more than one device on your network providing Network Address Translation (NAT). Try disabling NAT on one the devices.
And without the Aiport: Back to My Mac isn't working properly because it requieres a router that supports NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP) or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). Make sure your router supports one of these protocols and that it is enabled.

If I may continue this thread, I have the same double NAT issue and am using a DSL modem/router combo. I added an Airport Extreme to my Qwest supplied Actiontec dsl Modem/Router in hopes it would solve issues with Back to my Mac, among other things. The dsl modem supports UPnP to some degree, but BtmM doesn't seem to like it.
Currently the setup uses the DSL modem/router first in line, functioning as modem, NAT, router, but no DHCP (or wifi). That plugs into the WAN port of the Airport BaseSta. The Base Station runs in bridge mode, and distributes the ethernet and wifi connections. I would rather bridge the modem and disable its router functions, and let the Airport handle NAT and routing and wifi and Back-To-My-Mac.
What are the alternatives? Any help appreciated!

  • WP Greek Century in Mac doesn't work with Dreamweaver

    I am a many year PC user and have finally made the leap too Mac and its another learning curve .. That said, in Dreamweaver and in Mac, WP Greek Century does not work!  I have reloaded the font and all I see is the alpha #.   If I load it into any browser, it still will not read greek.  My old PC didn't have a problem with this.  Some of the download sites say that this font, WP Greek Century, works with both PC and Mac.  The one odd spin to all this is that this greek font works in Fireworks ... Is there anything I can do to make it work in Dreamweaver?  Please advise and thanks.  Mark
    ps.  I called Apple support and they could not help.

    Thanks for your reply and I was afraid that this might the answer.  Looks
    like I'm going to have to go back and fix a bunch of documents. Appreciate
    your help in this matter.  Mark

    Fonts don't work on the web like they do in print.  Any font you use on a
    website will require that the end user have that same font installed on
    their system.
    I did try to load that font from a free source (assuming this is how you
    got it).  It is a PC TrueType and doesn't appear to work at all on the
    Mac.  Now if you are looking for just a few characters you can code this
    into the HTML:
    http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/bylanguage/greekchart
    .html .  As far as other fonts, this greek font seems to work on Mac:
    http://www.dafont.com/ancient-geek.font .  But again, it's not a web-font
    so you won't be legally allowed to use it on web pages, and it will only
    work if the end user has that font installed on their system, unlike the
    HTML entities previously linked.

  • Firefox 3.6.27 (Mac) doesn't work with Google Blogger's Blog Archive links?

    I noticed this just started happening about week ago. Firefox 3.6.27 (Mac) doesn't work with Google Blogger when clicking in the Blog Archive sidebar links. I can't upgrade because I'm using a PowerMac. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

    I press the combination after having some of the document's text selected, otherwise there wouldn't be anything to apply the paragraph style in the first place. But the real thing is I do the exact same with other paragraph styles combinations (Cmd+Alt+1, Cmd+Alt+2, Cmd+Alt+4, Cmd+Alt+5...) and it works. In Safari, even the one I'm interested in works (Cmd+Alt+3). The natural solution, it appears to me, would be a shortcut conflict, but I can't manage to find it, not even disabling my four add-ons (Adblock Plus, bookmarks-deiconizer, Customizable Shortcuts, YouTube to MP3). The Google forums are not finding a solution either. Anyway, thank you for trying.

  • Back to my mac no longer working with iCloud

    Now that I have converted my mobileme to iCloud, back to my mac is no longer functioning properly.  As far as I can tell, my AEBS doesn't like my back to my mac login credentials, even though they are correct.  I can log in via settings on each computer with those credentials, but if I try to enter them in the AEBS it won't accept them as valid.
    I am able to use back to my mac/screen share on local computers.  I am NOT able to use it on a remote computer.  Before iCloud this was working fine.
    I initially didn't think I had a problem until I brought up the Airport Utility on an iPhone and found that there were issues.  I have made sure the firmwares were up to date and that has had no effect so far.
    I can only screen share on the remote computer using a third party solution on an ipad (via iTeleport) but that's not an ideal solution.
    Symptoms are identical on Lion and Snow Leopard machines (local) to the remote, which is running Snow Leopard.
    I do have screen sharing enabled in iCloud.

    OK, so further investigation has addressed the BTMM issue on a remote machine.
    With all machines running lion, I was having issues trying to log in to a standard user headless machine already running.  In Snow Leopard, I had no issues with this since you can log in via screen sharing using an admin login that's running a standard login.  Lion allows multiple accounts to be signed in which is handy since you can now run virtual sessions.  This means you can admin the remote computer without bothering the remote user.
    The problem was that now logging in using admin login brings up the admin account (which makes sense) instead of the desktop to the standard login.  I applied a similar solution to a problem that was related to screen sharing I found on this board.  What I believe to be the fix is to add the standard user to the screen sharing user list.  Then screen share to the remote account using the standard user credentials. 
    So on the remote computer, in System Settings->Sharing->Screen Sharing, add the standard user to be allowed access.  Previously I only had admins.  This may not be an ideal solution for what I'm trying to do since the remote computers primary login is the standard user to be used as a common computer, but it now works so I am happy with it.
    Now my only "problem" is my AEBS complaining about my MobileMe credentials, but it doesn't appear to have an impact on BTMM performance so I'll quietly wait for a fix down the road.

  • Back to my mac doesn't work since I change from me to iCloud

    This feature always worked well in my macbook and my iMac. Since I updated my me account to icloud account I always have the same problem with "back to my mac" the message is I should have a problem with my router with uPnP or NAT-PMP. I have checked all the parameters in my router and finally I think is a problem with icloud.
    I don't know if I am the only one with this problem. Why back to my mac worked fine with me account and now with icloud it is not possible?
    Any help will be appreciate.
    Thanks

    Thank for your help.
    Finally I could solve the problem. From my point of view is a problem inside the service apple provides with icloud because it didn't happend with me.
    So the solution was in my router, in my router there is an option in NAT about DMZ enable with a host address. DMZ means:
    "If the demilitarized zone (DMZ) is enabled, the packets that are sent from the WAN and that cannot match any rule are sent to the computer on the LAN side for analysis or other uses, before the packets are discarded by the firewall."
    So I enabled this option and I used as a host address my home iMac. After this, I can confirm from my office that back to my mac worked as espected.

  • Back to My Mac Doesn't Work

    Has anyone figured out how to make "Back to My Mac" work? I have 2 Macs running Leopard and a .Mac account, but do not even see a "Sharing" category in Finder, so it does not seem to work.
    Are there any directions or suggestions as to how to make this work? There is a video on the website, but it has a "Sharing" category that my Macs are missing.
    Thanks.

    Greetings Mac World,
    I stand corrected...finally. Three things.
    1. My desktop, iMac G5, malfunctioned and was out of commission until repaired by an Apple tech today, so I hadn't been commenting on the whole Back To My Mac issue. But now that it is repaired (bad power supply on iMac G5), I can add an additional two cents.
    2. My iMac G5 did not have 10.5.1. According to the updates I downloaded this afternoon using Software Update, I still had to install 10.5.1 on my G5. Odd I thought, since I was almost 100% certain it was already installed. But the updates included 10.5.1, so it was applied (or re-applied in my mind) tonight.
    3. I reset my base station to the default settings on Airport Extreme and did the automated setup again to reapply security to it (WPA2), but left all other settings alone.
    Voila...Presto...Hocus Pocus and....Drumroll please
    Back To My Mac works instantly.
    So I guess that rules out the theory on having a dot in your user name, since I have 3 dots. And sort of validates the whole 10.5.1 solving Back To My Mac. Granted I'm basically using all Apple products, but...
    Hopefully, this sheds light for someone else.

  • My WORD for Mac doesn't work with latest upgrade. Any Remedy?

    Most recent update to OS caused WORD for MAC not to work.  Any Remedy?

    If you just updated to Mountain Lion (10.8) and you were using Office 2004, your best option is to find a newer Office replacement. Here are a few:
    Office 2008 or newer ($140 and up for the 2011 version; you may find 2008 used elsewhere)
    Apple Pages ($15)
    LibreOffice (free)

  • Windows 7 doesn't work with verizon modem westell 6100

    I have a new gateway 4869 desk top. it will go on the internet and connect with gateway support and outlook express but will not connect with any other site like ebay,amazon,etc.it goes to these sites and waits for a reply that never comes. the computer works ok when connected to the t1 connection at best buy. i have an old dell with xp that works fine with this modem and hookup.i also had this happen with a new hp desktop. gateway and hp are not able to fix this saying it is the modem. verizon says if modem works with xp it is ok. this modem is old and may not have recent drivers which i can't check cause cant go online.anyone else have this problem or solutions.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I run Win7 on my desktop & XP on my older Laptop, both Dell, connecting to the internet via the same  DSL LAN  router.  Had problens connecting to some sites on my desktop, but not on the laptop; both runnng the same Anti-virus software, but. firewall exception settings were different for managing program connections. My browser would attempt to make the connections and just keep running until timed out.
    You mention that your older Dell running XP connects to the web via the same modem,  and verizon tech support states this proves the modem works properly.  I agree, otherwise your older PC wouldn't connect to the web either.  If it's not the hardware it must be the software  settings.  Your firewall settings may be interfering with the connections from being made. I suggest that you check the settings used with your Win7 firewall first. What internet security software are you running?  Mine allows personal firewall settings which overrides the basic Windows firewall.
    I'd also check the internet option settings on your XP Dell and compare them to the settings on your newer PC to ascertain whether there's any difference.
    While you may not be able to search for driver updates on the newer pc, you can use your Dell's XP pc for that purpose.
    Good luck.

  • Airport Express not working with cable modem

    I have an airport express that has been working perfectly.  I changed my internet provider and it suddently won't work -- no dns, no internet--even though other devices (including apple tv) are connecting with no problem.  [the cable modem (motorola) runs through a router to apple tv and the airport express.]  I have reviewed everything here and nothing is helping (powered down, disconnected everything, etc)  I am at a complete loss.  Please HELP. 

    Configuration is simple if you start from a factory default condition.  Connect the main Airport to AC power and to the Internet modem (or modem/router).  Open Airport Express on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords.

  • Time Capsule not working with cable modem

    I have a WebStar modem using Cox cable internet. When I plug the ethernet cable into my Macbook directly out of the modem, I have internet. When I plug the Ethernet cable into my Time Capsule - I have no internet and the lights on the modem do not flash. The modem is not recognizing the TC or the TC is not recognizing the modem. Any solutions??? Please help.....

    It's the former.
    Power everything down, including the modem. While it's powered down connect the TC's WAN port to the modem. After a few moments of peaceful contemplation, power up the modem and then the TC.
    You should then be able to configure the TC with Airport Utility, if you haven't already done so. If you can't, and you need to reach the outside world again, resist the temptation to connect your computer directly to the cable modem. Connect a computer to the TC's LAN port instead.
    Here's the applicable explanation from Apple:
    *You've done everything right, but still can't connect to the Internet. Why?*
    It's because the modem locked onto your iMac, and it will ignore anything else you plug into it until it's been reset. If you were to plug the iMac back into the modem, it would still connect to the Internet.
    Fortunately, resetting a broadband modem is usually very easy -- just unplug its power supply, wait a moment, and plug it back in. After its indicator lights have gone through their startup routine, you should do the same to the AirPort base station.
    Odds are that you can connect to the Internet now.

  • Sony Bridge for Mac doesn't work with my Sony Xperia J

    I have installed Sony Bridge for Mac version 3.7.1, but it won't connect to my Sony Xperia J which I have only had for 3 months.
    I get the error "Could not connect to your Xperia device. Please disconnect and reconnect it again. Restart the device if the problem persists". All the time.
    I have tried all of the suggestions in the error message. I have also tried reinstalling Sony Bridge for Mac, to no avail.
    I am running Mac OS X 10.9.2 on an iMac. I am also using the correct USB lead - the one supplied with the phone.
    The Mac system log shows this error:
    Apr  3 20:42:35 robins-imac.default Sony Ericsson Bridge for Mac[973]: BUG in libdispatch client: kevent[EVFILT_WRITE] delete: "No such file or directory" - 0x2
    I suspect that whoever wrote Sony Bridge for Mac did not try it on OS X 10.9.2.
    I am seriously thinking of getting rid of this phone and getting one that works properly with the Mac - ie, not a Sony phone. Sony always seem to have problems with supporting Macs, for some bizarre reason.

    Hi Yorkshirecomposer,
    I will ask the development crew about the system log error. Additionally, could you provide me with error logs to send them as well?
    Here’s how to get error logs from Sony Bridge for Mac: 
    1. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Clear logs" to remove all old logs and get a clean start
    2. Reproduce the problem you're having, whether it's connecting the phone, importing photos, doing backup...
    3. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the ”Xperia” menu. Select "Export logs"
    4. On the computers desktop there should now be a file named "SonyBridgeForMacLogs_[date].zip
    5. PM that file to me or post the contents here
    Best Regards,
    David

  • Office 2011 Mac doesn't work with OS X Yosemite

    Who can help me with that problem. Was talking to the Microsoft hotline and they couldn't solve the problem. It doesn't really launch anymore. It doesn't open properly and looks like frozen.

    To follow up with another question. I was looking into uninstalling office and they say:
    Step 2: Remove the Microsoft Office 2011 folder
    On the Go menu, click Applications.
    Drag the Microsoft Office 2011 folder to the Trash.
    I do not know what they mean by the Go menu; I cannot believe how little I know .
    I hope you can help.

  • Apple Keyboard with number pad doesn't work with Mac Pro?

    I have a Mac Pro, and have used an Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth) with it for quite a while, with no problems. But then my keyboard broke and I ordered a replacement Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth). This keyboard doesn't work with my Mac Pro. I have it plugged in, but I can't get the Mac Pro to consistently recognize that there is a USB keyboard connected to it. What magical stuff do I have to do to get the keyboard to be fit for purpose?

    It would not hurt to try an SMC Reset. (But if it does not help, it adds credence to lllaass assertion that the keyboard is not working.)
