Can't Use Built-in Ethernet-HELP!!!

I am trying to connect a slot loading 350 mhz imac to the internet through the built-in ethernet for a friend that needs it, but the network status pane (OSX.3 Panther) keeps saying the ethernet cable is not plugged in. I've tried several different Cat 5 ethernet cables and it still says this, so we can't connect to the isp (with cable modem). It also says the internal modem is not working, I get the red light next to it and the built-in ethernet buttons in Network status. I've tried direct connections to two different external cable modems, and three different ethernet cables, I think the problem is a software issue that needs correcting. I just got through with a clean install of OS 9.1 and OSX.3, but the network still does not recognize the ethernet cable as being plugged in.
Other things I've tried: zapping the PRAM, and resetting the nv-ram, but to no avail (as suggested by other posts I've come across). I ran Tech Tool 4 on it however,and the Network test PASSED.
Isn't there something I can do in Preferences or terminal so the network can see the built-in ethernet? I'd really appreciate any ideas or suggestions!
Thanks, Chuck

You can easily restore without updating to the latest OS - simply don't purchase it. You can restore from iTunes - on the Summary page, just click on Restore.
As to your WiFi problem (and that is what you most likely experiencing) tell us more about the network you are using, the hardware, who the heck your ISP is and so on. It may be as simple as whoever owns the network is blocking access to Apple sites.
I am assuming by built in sites, you are referring to the App Store, iTunes, etc. correct?
If your network indicates that you are logged in, tap Settings > WiFi. Does your network have a check mark next to it? If it does, tap the blue arrow (>) next to the name. Does your IP address start with 169.x or 192.x?

Can I use an apple ethernet to usb converter to connect my usb modem to my airport express?

Can I use an Apple ethernet to USB converter to connect my USB modem to my Airport Express?

That's what I thought too, then I bought this USB Ethernet adapter and on the package it says :
"Compatible only with MacBook Air Computers"... so I am not sure if I should open it.
When it was originally released it only worked with the MacBook Air which came with a special version of OS X that supported this adapter. Apple seem to have since built this support in to versions of OS X 10.6 and later for all Macs.
If you have an older version of OS X e.g. 10.3 to 10.5 then an unofficially driver is available here http://www.sustworks.com/sb_site/downloads.html
There are also third-party USB to Ethernet adapters with their own drivers like this one http://www.kanexlive.com/usb3lan

I have the same problem--have you found a solution?

Can I use built-in iSight camera with other apps?

Can I use built-in iSight camera with other apps?
How?
doesn't work in imovie or image capture

Hi Judson,
THe built in iSight will actually work with iMovie if you have the version of iMovie which comes with iLife 6. (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61929 for a mention)
There is a slightly clumsy "workaround" available for use with earlier versions of iMovie, but you need a dv cam to use it - see http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051217210335199
I gather that "EvoCam" - http://www.evological.com/evocam.html - will also work directly with the built in iSight.
So too, should recent versions of QuicktimePro.
As for other apps, tell us what you wish to do with it. We may be able to come up with some suggestions.
Cheers
Rod

No it is not. iPhones, like all cell phones are not locked to countries. They are locked to carriers.
Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it. Contact the carrier.

Using Built in Ethernet

Although I seem to have come up with a solution regarding very slow file transfers by ethernet between this G4 and another, I'm once again having the same issue with this machine and another MDD. (both using 10.4.11)
I connect the two macs with an ethernet cable
On the machine I want to copy files to, I go to the Go Menu/Connect to...
I select the network volume, mount it and then drag the file to the hard drive...
It starts copying, but very slowly - 1 GB would take 2-3 hours !
I followed some online help and configured the Network so that Appletalk is on
I'm Using DHCP with IP address and subnet mask indicated in fields
Location is Automatic
In Sharing - Personal File Sharing is on and checked (when restarting, the Internet tab Share your connection from: pop up selection reverts to AirPort)
In Internet - Share connection from Built In Ethernet is selected.
For what it's worth, Built-in Ethernet status under Network Status has a yellow button, not green, like AirPort. Shouldn't it be green? how?
I'm totally in the dark - why can't Apple make this simpler?
Any help very much appreciated...

No, it just gets worse - I tried to follow that - as well as the support doc advice - then I get a pull down in Network saying changes have been made by another application - keeps doing that until I have to quit Sys. prefs. Going to the Sharing and the Internet tab, I select share your connection from airport, and it stops doing it...but I'm still getting snailpace file exchange . Am I the only Mac user on the planet with this problem - feels like it...am now spending 3 or 4th hour trying to solve...going around in circles?
BD: I made a New Location, as directed...and on both computers, too...changing configurations is scary because I didn't write down what I had before...and everything could get mixed up now. 11 years with Macs and I still have what seem like Problems 101.
Internet Sharing is off.
Don't know what 100 BaseTX or Gige - or where to find out.
Seems as if my only recourse is to dump files to an external hd and reload into 2nd computer...drat! Don't want to have to rely on that alone - or target disc mode...
After I tried to set a new location it didn't seem to get me anywhere - so I set Location to Automatic - since the KB article said that would automatically find the right path to built-in ethernet (I think, though I'm probably misunderstanding) Also, I getting into that downward spiral where everything seems to get increasingly hopeless...not rational, but real nonetheless. Any help appreciated, though you've given me a lot of your time and patience already...
Oh, another thing - I tried reversing the situation - attempting to access files from the one I tried to get files to at first - to the one I was trying to get files from - I'm able to connect, but it won't open up - only spinning ball and 'connecting' box...and then after 5 mns, it disconnects. Problem there too now...see what I mean?
Would it help if I listed what settings are presently on both computers? Then perhaps you could advise as to what needs to be reset....thanks

How can I use a manually created help file

Is it possible to use a manually crated help file *.hlp (microsoft help file) in a oracle forms application.
I want to open the help file from in my help menu. How can I do that??
Joury

Hi,
Have you tried WIN_API_SHELL.winhelp and WIN_API_SHELL.winhelpex?
Both are available in D2KWUtil.PLL, usually included in Forms demos.

I tried to restore my phone this morning, but the phone is stuck on the screen showing I'm plugged into itunes. I have no service, and although my device registers in itunes, the right side of the screen is blank. I can't use my phone. Help!

I tried to restore my I Phone today but now its not working. The screen is stuck with the plug in picture, and only allows me to make emergency calls. It says I have no service and I can't use my phone.
Why does the device show in the left hand side of I tunes, but the right hand side is blank and shows no options?

Walter...seems to be a multiplying problem. My problem appears to be the same:
(Original iPhone Restore...HELP !!!
I was having syncing issues with my iPhone (an original) and ultimately took the step to restore the factory default settings in an attempt to start over from fresh...iTunes 'sees' the iPhone device and seems to go through all the requisite restore, load, verify steps, but I can't get the iPhone to load the main menu. I continue to get a window that shows a USB Cable pointing to iTunes...I have had 800 call support technicians and genius bar techs look at the problem without result.
Anybody run into this problem or have any ideas how to resolve? Thanks in advance for any assistance you might offer! regards, mdh)
That was a post I put in LinkedIn hoping to find someone with a similar experience and perhaps a solution. Had intended to post here...then saw your post of what appears to be the same issue.
HEEEEEEEEEEEELP! I want my iPhone back (please)

Can I use Built-in SQL Server in Visual Studio 2010 ?

Hi Friends, I am Atif.
If I will upload my project to my Server Domain and I want to use Built-in Visual Studio 2010 Sql Server Expreess Database then it will work. If yes then Please suggest me How..??
Actually I don't want to install SQL Server Database Seperately.
Tell me How can i achieve this.
Thanks and Regards.
Atif.

Hi Atif,
Besides other post, to use SQL Server Express for development work, you just need to specify the data source (SQL server's name) and authentication details in a connection string. For more information about SQL Server Express connection string, you can review
the examples in the following articles.
Database Connectionstrings
SQL Server Connection Strings for ASP.NET Web Applications
Also please note that SQL Server Express edition has some limitations, for example: only one CPU can be used by the express edition, the maximum size of a database is 4 GB (10GB in SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and higher versions of SQL Server Express),
it can only use up to 1GB of RAM.
Thanks,

Continue to receive error 1604 and can't use the recover function - help! I have gone through all the steps listed in support and nothing has worked. I am using a usb port I tested with my printer cable and it's fine.

I wanted to update my software this morning and it has turned into a nightmare. I continue to receive the error 1604, which is related to a usb port. I followed all the steps listed in support and nothing has helped. I just plugged in my printer cable to the usb port and it works fine, yet I continue to receive this error and can't use my phone!

A printer does not require power, and does not transfer large amounts of data. So that is not a valid test. It's like saying "if I plug a nightlight into an outlet it works fine, so why do 2 hair dryers on at the same time trip a circuit breaker?"
Are you using a port directly on the computer, and not a hub? If it's not a laptop and it has ports on front and back are you using a back port, which can supply more power?
Have you EVER used this computer to hack or jailbreak ANY iPhone (not necessarily the one with the problem? Or used a program to downgrade the version of iOS on any phone?
