Deleted firewire in network under system preferences

now realize it was a dumb thing to do. currently need firewire to transfer some files from my computer to my wifes imac. I've run first aid as well as latest DiskWarrior to no avail. I have both original 10.5 & 10.6 discs for the computer. can someone point me in the right direction on how to reinstall firewire?
thanks for your help.

I'm not sure I quite understand. You can't "delete" Firewire because it's part of the computer's hardware. There is no preference pane for Firewire. There is a networking option to use IP over Firewire that is configured in Network preferences. It's not clear to what you are referring nor what you think you deleted.

  • Deleting a "Location" under Network in System Preferences

    Not certain if this topic should be here or under MBP, but here goes. How do you delete a "Location" under Network in System Preferences? What's happened, is that throughout the 15 months of MBP ownership and switching mobile phones pretty frequently, I've managed to acquire 4 different locations without intention, but only need one and would now like to delete the other three.
    thanks in adavance for the help
    Paul

    Choose Edit Location from the Location pop-up, then just select the ones you want to delete and click the "-" button.

  • AirPort does not show under System Preferences Network Show

    Hello,
    I am having problems with my AirPort Express. It is listed in AirPort Admin Utility (with an IP Address), but does not show up under System Preferences > Network > Show.
    How can I get the AirPort recognized?
    Thanks,
    Fidelio

    In System under "Network" it shows "AirPort Card" with "No information found"
    Your Mac does not have a wireless card installed or it is not working.
    However, I would like to set up a shared printer and instructions I have for this say that I need to get the IP address of AirPort under System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort.
    That information should have nothing to do with a printer since the information there relates to your Mac... not to the AirPort Express (AX).

    Under System Preferences, Hardware, CD i DVD...  The menu text and dropdown choices are in a foreign Language.  I have my normal Language set to English.  What gives?

    Thanks for the reply. I only have English - Primary but I guess I could add Finland and then delete it...
    Okay, tried that, lots of variations including deleting all other languages and only using Finnish, and then using only British English etc - when guest is in Finnish the whole lot becomes Finnish/Suomi (see attached photos to compare with the ones above) - then when you delete Finnish and go back to English, everything is Englisg apart from 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' as above.
    Any other ideas where it stores that info - is there a dodgy preference file somewhere which needs zapping?

  • I don't see icloud as an option under system preferences

    You must be running 10.7.2 or later for iCloud.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later

             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

  • In lion can I clear the list of applications that have requested Location Services under System Preferences...Security

    In Lion, can I clear the list of applications that have requested Location Services under System Preferences...Security & Privacy…Privacy?
    I have uninstalled an application but the name of the app is still showing up in this list of apps.  I have disabled it but was wondering if there is a way to remove it from this list.

    I don't believe you can since it is populated automatically by the system. FWIW, I do not have location services enabled - I chose not to since I have no intention of tucking my 27" under my arm and taking it somewhere. And, I deny any request any app wanting to use it and have not experienced any error messages because of it.

  • HT204053 My Macbook doesn't have iCloud under System Preferences.  How do I add it?

    LIon is obtained from the Mac App Store, which you need 10.6.8 to access.

  • HT203210 Where is the show popup from network on System Preferences?

    Where is the show popup from network on System Preferences?
    Was checking Airport support for PPPoE disconnected message which directd me to Show Popup on network in System preferences and I had 1 option.  Show all.
    Would love additional info on why I keep getting this message - Could not find a PPPoE server.  Which interrupts wifi service to Network.

    PPPoE is a protocol used to authenticate a user prior to gaining Internet access used by certain ISPs. Typically it is used for DSL Internet service. PPPoE would be configured on the device that is directly connected to the DSL modem. This could be a router or computer.
    Do you currently have or previously had DSL Internet service? What is the make & model of the device that you currently have the AirPort Extreme base station connected to by Ethernet? Which exact model of the Extreme do you have?

  • Since upgrading to Lion OS, the wifi connectivity keeps blocking up intermittently and we need to manually keep switching on and off the wifi utility to get the connection back. even locking the preferred wifi network in system preferences does not help.

    Since upgrading to Lion OS 10.7.1, the wifi connectivity keeps blocking up intermittently and we need to manually keep switching on and off the wifi utility to get the connection back. even locking the preferred wifi network in system preferences does not help. This never used to happen with Snow Leopard

    This is a big thank you to Rys Sinnefeldt who posted this fix.
    Rys has made this fix very easy to do and takes literally 2 mins. It involves replacing the Atheros Lion driver 4.0 and replacing it with the snow leopard driver. Don't worry, Rys has made this so simple to do even I could do it and so far I have had no more wifi drops.

  • I have updated my Apple ID, but iCloud under System Preferences on my iMac still shows the old Apple ID. How do I update it to show the new ID name? Can anyone help?

    I've updated my Apple ID, but iCloud under System Preferences on my iMac still shows my old Apple ID. How do I update it to show the new Apple ID?

    Do you mean you changed your existing apple id to a new email address, still associated to your existing apple id?
    If that's the case, just click the sign out button in the icloud preferences, and sign in with the new email address.
    If you're actually created an entirely new apple id with your new email address, you'll have to do some exporting/importing.
