Comcast buried a cable in our yard and snipped another cable

Comcast came out and buried a new cable in our yard. This weekend rained very hard and a neighbor notices smoke coming from our grass after the rain stopped. He walked over in his bare feet and felt electric currents going through his feet. The place where the grass was smoking is now burnt grass. It is in the same area as the comcast guy was digging to bury the new cable. We need someone to come out asap to fix this problems. We believe our invisible fence wiring was snipped by this man. Trying to get through to comcast is nothing but a joke. We have small children playing in our yard, and the last thing I want to happen is one of them to get zapped because they went over to the area with burnt grass.

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail. ???

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail, either in the inbox or in the spam folder. Is it possible to bypass the gmail account and send directly to the Apple mail server, spoofing the gmail address?

Maybe some info here for you about spoofing. (and much additional info)

Grrrrr.....makes me miss my stupid PC set up as I could force it to do what I want!
Intermittent connection screws up Netflix, VOIP phone, Amazon, Streaming music via Spotify/Pandora, general internet access.....whole family is ****** off.
Any tips/tricks/ideas???

Downgrade firmware to 7.6.1 .. as the latest is just lousy.
It is easy to downgrade.. hold down the option key whilst you click the version number. in Macs.. lots of stuff is hidden behind an option key.
I also strongly recommend a factory reset and use all SMB names.. not apple type names..
ie TC name.. TCgen4
Wireless name TCwifi (or give names to both bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz).
That helps all the non-apple part of the world.. connect.
Also Mavericks has now changed over to SMB as well. So even Mac is now windows networking.
Generally these two things. .7.6.1 firmware and SMB names will fix it.. if not post again as is another step that is possible.. controlling the WAN speed of the TC.

Not sure that I have selected the correct forum. Hope my questions are clearly stated.
Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter. TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices). It does not show Mail or Safari menus. System preferences' display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution. I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access. Is there any way to make this work for us? We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web. Do we need Apple TV to do this? Or is it not possible with our old iMac? My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor.
Thank you

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time, you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

How do you get the IPAD2 to charge? We have tried both ways and it never goes any higher than the percentage it is? We have plugged it into our computer and into an electrical outlet but does not charge. We got it brand new so it should work.

We are having trouble getting our new IPAD2 to charge. We have hooked it up to our computer and no charge, we have used the outlet and still no charge. When we first connect it to an outlet it shows the battery but it immediately goes off and it is still at the same percentage hours later.
Do you have any suggestions as to what we need to do to get it charged?
thanks
Connie

Try resetting your iPad by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Then try to charge.
It should charge from the outlet but may not from a USB. Try a different cable or adapter. If you don't have one, take it all in to Apple... the adapter may be defective. You have a 1 year waranty.

This program works to plug in an electric guitar with a cable as the iRig and used the pedals and amps right?

this program works with the iRig and then iShred cable to use an electric guitar right?

Mr. Rodriquez,
Thank you very much for your response. Another concern of mine is overwelming the APs. We have 70 of the
"AIR-LAP1131-AG-A-K9" APs and from what I've seen the 386 clients the 4404 knows of includes the 162 clients the 4402 knows of.
I don't how of a way to easily determine how many clients we have per AP, so I am assuming the clients are distributed somewhat evenly. Considering the number of APs and clients we currently have do you see any problem with increases our DHCP leases to 200 or 250?
Thank You,
Andres

After updating, Firefox informed me that Constant Guard, the security system which is provided by Comcast, is not compatible with this update and was disabled. WHY? Will Firefox now automatically provide security against online threats?

Firefox upgraded automatically; in doing so, it stated that Constant Guard Security Suite, which is provided by Comcast, my internet service, is not compatible, and had to be disabled. Please explain why; is Firefox providing anti-virus when I surf the internet? If not, this is NOT an 'upgrade' and I will never use Firefox. Please respond as soon as possible.

Hi, Thanks for that further bug description In Your Last Message That Describes The Problem I Am Having perfectly and is exactly the same for me.
unfortunately that fix for my camera Powershot G6 does not work or apply as the view pictures switch is different on G6 is not usable during download as once you plug in DC/USB cable it turns off, and makes no diff and problem still exists exactly as you just described.
thanks anyways "Selz Boy"
it has been 17 days since apple promised to get back to me within 3-5 days hopefully with a solution, but I have still not heard from them.
They blew me off, i guess, probably i will have to wait for new Yosemite OS update, which they pre-warned me could take as much as 6 months.
I cannot believe apple released this new update with such major bug issues for camera downloads and that horrible "Photos" pgm which has all sorts of downgrades in features, usefulness and new bugs compared to iPhotos which I just finally got used to and was much better software.
I am starting to lose faith in Apple and I am getting that Microsoft "FEEL" like I used to have when I was a PC user, which was why I originally switched to Apple computers in first place.
Oh well got my fingers crossed here.
Thankfully the memory card reader solution is working well, but cost me $45.

I used an ethernet cable between my iMac and Time Capsule for the initial backup. Now that initial backup is concluded, can I simply unplug the Time Capsule from my computer?

I used an ethernet cable between my iMac and Time Capsule for the initial backup. Now that initial backup is concluded, can I assume I can simply unplug the Time Capsule from my computer without any glitches and Time Capsule will then run wirelessly. Is this assumption correct?

can I assume I can simply unplug the Time Capsule from my computer without any glitches and Time Capsule will then run wirelessly. Is this assumption correct?
Yes, if the computer will be able to receive a strong wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
I did not disable wireless. So I assume the backups are occurring both with the ethernet and wirelessly.
It is inot possible to have both an "active" Ethernet and "active" wireless signal simultaneously. If an Ethernet connection is established, your computer will default to the Ethernet connection. If the Ethernet cable is unplugged, the computer will revert to the wireless connection.
I also show 2 wireless networks available through Airport. Shouldn't there only be one now?
You have a simultaneous dual band Time Capsule. That means that it will always be providing both a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz network.
I named my new network the same name as the old network. This enabled all of our devices to continue with their connection without entering the new network and/or passwords; however, I am afraid this may pose problems in the future somehow. Any input on this issue as well?
Things should be fine. Devices will connect to the best signal.....either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz....based on their capabilties and location in relation to the Time Capsule.

I lost the connection cable for my ipod and comp.

can someone tell me how i could get another cable that connects my ipod to my computer? i lost mine and need to update my ipod, please help me.
thank you

Also many wall chargers for iPods that have a USB port for charging will often come with a replacement iPod USB cable. So if you don't already have a wall charger, getting one of those will get you both a wall charger and the replacement cable you need.
An example of what I am talking about is the Griffin Powerblock...
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powerblock/
$30 but a very nicely made charger, comes with an additional sync cable, and the prongs fold up into the body so it travels nicely without stabbing everything in your bag. We have one that we use to charge our iPods AND my palm pilot & my wife's Blackberry too. So only one charger needs to be brought along on trips for a number of devices.

I am setting up a lab of imacs in a school. I have successfully bound the imacs to our network and can log in using the windows account. However, I cannot access my files. Is there another step?

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

Different between Passive and Active SFP+ cable

Hey,
We'd like to know what is the different between Cisco SFP+ copper passive twinax cable and active cable?
We test some Siemon passive SFP+ 7m and 10m copper cables and these cables passed our lab test ( link between nexus 5548 and FEX link).
Is that means we can using Siemon to take over Cisco because of same function and lower cost?
Thanks.

Greetings,
The following page explains in detail the difference between passive and active copper assemblies - http://www.scientificcomputing.com/High-speed-Copper-Interconnects-Address-Critical-HPCHurdles.aspx.
You can use any Cisco Twinax cables between a Nexus 5548 switch and Fabric Extender (note that Nexus 7000 switches do not support all Twinax cables). The 7 and 10m cables use an active design while the shorter cables are passive.
Non-Cisco transceivers are not compatability validated and may not be supported by TAC if you encounter any issues (Warranty Guideline http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/prod_warranty09186a00800b5594.html). We recommend always using official Cisco components.
Hope this helps,

Cisco 10GBASE X2 and Xenpak Modules- cable connection?

Which cable use for connection between Cisco X2-10GB-SR and Xenpak Modules or 10GBASE XENPAK and 10GBASE XENPAK (SMF or MMF) ?
Which cable use for connection between 10GBASE XENPAK and 10GBASE XENPAK (SMF or MMF) ?
I think it is MMF cable.
But my customer test SMF cable with 10GBASE XENPAK and 10GBASE XENPAK module, they see blue led of those module.
It happen with with one couple module; with another couple of module, it dont happen.
btw, I see this picture in cisco.com (Cisco 10GBASE X2 and Xenpak Modules.jpg), it has yellow cable in the picture.
As I know, yellow cable= SMF cable, orange cable= MMF cable. this thing make me confuse.
Thank you.

Dear Tom,
The length of SMF is under 100 meters, it connect from 7th floor to 9th floor. There are patch cord on each floor.
We have tested the connection by direct FO cable (single mode 2 meters) with SFP LRM-to-LRM and LRM-to-LR. Both the test are okay. So it means that the SFP is okay.
We'll check again with looping back the signal from our existing FO.
Thanks
Imad

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more.

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.

The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be for FREE!
Ciao.

We have an itunes account on our desktop and my kids have it on their ipod and iphone. I went in and changed our user name from my old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my new one and now either of my kids can access the itunes store..

We have an itunes account on our desktop and both my kids have it on iphone and ipod. I went in and changed out user name from an old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my one I use now... When the kids try to sign onto the itunes store it tells them they have the wrong user name..
Can this be fixed??

Did you change the email address or create a new Apple ID?
If the email address associated with the account was merely changed, sign out of the Apple ID on the devices and sign in using the new credentials.
