Cannot connect to business server w/ macbook pro (mountain lion)

Hello. I am having a problem with connecting my mac (running mountain lion) to a server used by my law firm. I can access the server on the PC they provided me via ethernet cable. It finds the server no problem. However, when I plug the cable into my mac, it can't locate the server. I've tried typing in the filepath for the server, but it still can't find it. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks but I have been trying this for the last 24 hours...I have even reset my mail password, deleted and recreated the account, and still nothing.
But on my iphone it is working fine...and when I had to change the password to match the above, it immediatley worked fine again.
Very frustrating! ..
Any more ideas?
Thanks
Steve

My new macbook pro (Mountain Lion) will not log into my 1and1 server to connect to my e mail. My snow leopard macbook does not have this problem - Apple support say it is a 1and1 problem! do I have to wait for an update of Mountain Lion?

My new macbook pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.1) will not log into my 1and1 outgoing mail server. ( It will receive mail - but does not send)My old Snow Leopard macbook does not have the same problem ( server settings etc. are identical) . Apple Support say its a 1and1 problem , 1and1 say it is an operating System prob - I have tried changing port numbers.

My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck!

How do I install/upgrade iWork 2005 on my new MacBook Pro / Mountain Lion?

I just bought a new MacBook Pro (converted back from Windows) and installed an old version of iWork (2005) I purchased years ago, hoping to upgrade it. It didn't install properly as it only shows a folder in Finder/Apps, with a couple of docs in the folder and doesn't show up as an app for Upgrade. The guy that upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion at the Apple Store told me this should work.
1) How do I install iWork 2005 on my MacBook Pro / Mountain Lion?
2) How do I upgrade it without having to purchase a new copy?
Thanks!

You cannot link any version of iWork installed from a retail disk or trial to the Mac App Store.
You install iWork '05 on your new Mac just as you always have, making sure you have the serial number to enter. But the iWork apps are very reasonably priced on the Mac App Store & have come a very long way in 7 years. And now Numbers is available for spreadsheets.

HT4245 my iMessage on my macbook pro mountain lion won't work.

this is a very frustrating problem
my iMessage on my macbook pro mountain lion won't work.
it keeps on saying that ive entered the wrong passcode.
i even have my firewall turned off
plz help

Ok...
So I bought my MacBook Pro second hand, and it came with no installation discs, but I got Mountain Lion and had it installed and decided to back it up to a disc in case of this scenario. I followed some instructions to make a bootable disc and used it to install a fresh copy of Mountain Lion back when I first got it.
My problem is that without the boot partition of my MacBook's hard drive it doesn't seem to want to boot the disc.
Since I didn't want to buy a disc and I don't have another MacBook or know anyone near me that does, I decided to download a hackintosh iso and use it along with my other laptop to install iPC 10.5.6....this installed successfully and my hopes were that my MacBook would be able to boot it, so I reinstalled my MacBook's hard drive and to my surprise it booted, although not normally. Since it is hackintosh it has some rewritten boot features so it's not a true OSX, but it is fully functional. Since I finally had OSX booted I figured I was in the clear and would be able to install Mountain Lion from this, but then I found out that you have to have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or later in order to install Mountain Lion.
Now I'm stuck with a hactintosh version of Lion and still no way to get back to Mountain Lion, is there anything I can do now that I have a functional OSX installation?

My sister can't find Pages on her Macbook Pro Mountain Lion, can someone help?

My sister is new to her MacBook Pro Mountain Lion and thinks she may have deleted the Pages program. She's away at college for the first time and needs this program. I've told her to use Finder and search for Pages, or look in her applications, but to no avail. Help?

How did she acquire Pages in the first place?
If it was a purchase from the Mac App Store, all she need to do is launch App Store (from the  menu is easiest), sign in with the Apple ID & password used, click on 'purchases' & click the INSTALL button to the right of Pages in the list.
If it was from a retail DVD she will need the DVD to reinstall.

Trouble connecting to Fios on my Macbook running Mountain Lion

I just got Fios installed in the hourse, and a PC and an Android phone have connected to it fine. But my Macbook (running Mountain Lion) won't work with it, either via Ethernet or via WiFI. When try to, the Mac's network "diagnostics" all light up. Sometimes I can get to a single website at that point, but after a few seconds the "internet" and "server" parts of the diagnostics turn to yellow or red, and I can't connect to any other websites. Wi-Fi and Ethernet behavior is the same -- the WiFi signal is strong.
I though this might be a DNS problem, so I changed the router's DNS servers to those of OpenDNS, and then also changed the DNS servers on my Macbook. I also "flushed the DNS," which didn't help. And I turned off the firewall on my Macbook -- still can't connect, except for a second at most. And I'm confused about what to try next.
The router is a MI424WR Actiontex, 3rd generation -- do you think getting a new model of router from Verizon might help? Is that the next thing I should try?

Ha, so I guess I get 10 points. The problem turned out to be the DNSCrypt program (http://opendns.github.com/dnscrypt-osx-client)/, which had occasionally acted up before with public WiFi sites. It evidently doesn't play well with the FIOS's router either. So if anyone is having problems like this, remember to turn off this and similar programs first, before you look for anything more elaborate.

In trying to update iTunes, I am finding that my macbook pro cannot connect to the app store at all. I am getting this error over and over in the logs.

Cannot Connect to iTunes Store on Macbook Pro

After recently updating to iTunes 11, I have become unable to connect to the iTunes store. I have tried everything in the FAQ suggestions thus far but, I am still unable to get it to connect.
A couple of things to note:
1. My iPhone 4 and iPad 2 on the same internet connection can connect to the iTunes store, which should rule out any ISP issues.
2. The computer in question is a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.2.
3. The same computer can connect to the App Store and make purchases without any issues. Prior to the update I had no issues with the iTunes store.
4. I tried Keychain First Aid, it found no error.
5. I tired Permissions First Aid, also no errors.
6. I reset the network settings numerous times and I am running it in the administrator's account.
Pretty much exhausted everything I could think of and I very much want to download some purchases I made on my iPad to my computer.

Restart the router. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

Cannot connect to app store on macbook pro

Hi
I click on app store and get this message "cannot connect to app store"
i tried reinstalling 10.6.8 combo and still not working.
Any ideas on how to solve this?

If you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
Try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.appstore
Move the Cache.db file from the com.appstore folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac, try the App Store

I cannot connect to mac appstore on Macbook pro 10.6.8

I have been having a ongoing problem now for a while in which the appstore on my macbookpro will not conncet, i have read through endless 'fix' options through the support community and none have worked so far, my itunes and laptop are up to date. I can open itunes and connect to the itunes store fine but when i click on the appstore icon it opens up and then immediately displays "connecting to appstore, please wait a moment" this proceeds to be the case until i give up and close the application. It is frustrating as I would like to update my computer to mountain lion. I have tried the combo download to no avail. I would greatly appreciate any help on this matter to rectify problem asap. thanks.

I think there is a good chance we can solve this after doing a bit of troubleshooting. Was this always like this, or just for a while?
There is a very high chance this is happening due to anti-virus & firewall software. Are you running any kind of junk like Norton or Little Snitch? Let's start here...

Hi all. I have upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro but still cannot connect to App store to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Any advice?

Hi all, I have upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow leopard on my Mac Pro but still cannot connect to App store. I want to connect to upgrade to Mountain Lion but ony get the message "you are not connected to App store" or "Check your internet connections, error -52". My internet is working OK for everything else.Any advice?

Then I will have to assume a faulty installation.
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Late 2011 MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) backlight keyboard not functioning properly?

I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and for some reason, the automatic backlight keyboard will not funtion as it should. When I have the "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light" option enabled in settings, and I turn on the lights, my backlight keyboard stays at full brightness. Then, when I turn off the keyboard, then the lights, the keyboard does not turn on! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am pretty sure that this was a feature in the MBP lines.

Try a SMC reset. Shut down the computer. Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected. On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. Release all the keys and the power button at the same time. Press the power button to turn on the computer. Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Uninstalling Parallels on new MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion)

Hello everyone!
I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro (the lowest end 13-inch model).
I had Parallels 3 (ancient!) on my old MacBook. I no longer need it on the new one and, well, that doesn't really matter because it doesn't run on it anyway.
I used Time Machine with help from some Apple techs at a One-to-One to bring all my old stuff to the new computer. Though I didn't want to bring over Parallels, I did want to ensure that I got all my other stuff over, and I couldn't pick and choose the Applications.
To Uninstall Parallels 3 completely, I have to follow this protocol:
http://kb.parallels.com/4709
However, when I use the disk OR the .dmg image (I have both), neither work - they freeze or quit. I assume this is because, in general, Parallels 3 isn't even supported on the new model.
I would like to delete it all completely, but want to get EVERYTHING off. I know AppZapper won't get it all off, and I am not technical enough to go behind the scenes and screw around. I did read, regarding the rules above, that one false move could wipe out my new MacBook. Not willing to take that risk.
Has anyone been in this position before? I also have reinstalled Windows and am using Virtual Box, and, ideally, want to make sure that if I take out Windows (that was installed from Parallels), it isn't removing the Windows that I use for Virtual Box.
Please help if you can!

Internet Sharing on MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion

I am having trouble enabling internet sharing on my macbook pro with os x mountain lion, version 10.8.3. My computer is connected to the internet from an ethernet cord, and I want to share the connection with my iphone wirelessly. I have tried going to system preferences > sharing > internet sharing. From here I chose "Ethernet" from the dropdown menu "Share your connection from." I chose "Wi-Fi" from the ports options under "To computers using." (AirPort is NOT an option listed under the ports menu). When I then check the internet sharing box to enable the sharing, a message pops up saying "To share your Internet connection, you must turn on Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is turned off." Obviously, I don't have Wi-Fi, so I can't do this. How do I fix this problem?? Please help!!

No, I don't have Wi-Fi. There is no Wi-Fi in this building. If there were, I wouldn't need to share my internet through the ethernet cord.
