Difficulty obtaining open DNS IP using any network config tool.

Hey everyone... I've searched the thread archives and haven't found a solution to this yet...
I'm having a hard time connecting to any of my school networks. One is a guest network, one is a wpa2 encrypted network.
Using nmcli to connect (after creating the profile) I get the following error:
└─> nmcli con up id <SCHOOL>.edu
Active connection state: activating
Active connection path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1
** (process:6888): WARNING **: _nm_object_get_property: Error getting 'State' for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1: (19) Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist
state: unknown
Error: Connection activation failed.
Using netcfg with the following config, it never connects saying "WPA Authentication/Association Failed"
CONNECTION='wireless'
INTERFACE=wlan0
SECURITY='wpa-configsection'
IP='dhcp'
CONFIGSECTION='
ssid="<SCHOOL>.edu"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
group=CCMP
pairwise=CCMP
identity="wei001"
password="<PASSWORD>"
priority=1
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"'
I would be OK using either of these methods, but neither of them seem to work... any ideas?
EDIT:
This method works, but takes a couple of tries to finally connect.
ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan
iwconfig wlan0 essid "network_name"
dhcpcd wlan0

Thanks for looking at this =] I thought i had it working last night, but it takes multiple attempts to finally connect. I did establish a connection a couple of times. As in, 1 out of 20 tries.

HT1414 does anyone no how much apple charge to open your phone to any network

does anyone no if apple can open your phone to any network and how much

Apple does not unlock iPhones for users. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.

Illustrator CS2 will open, but cannot use any functions

For some reason I am able to open files in Illustrator, but am unable to undo, or open a new file, or basically use any of the functions in the tool bar. Please help!! I've been trying to troubleshoot this on my own for about 3 hours w/o success!!
Thanks!
Corinna

Hi Jacob and Harron,
I've tried both deleting the AIprefs file, and moving the entire folder to my desktop and neither worked.
More detail about what I'm experiencing:
I can open Illustrator, but unless I open a document from the intro window I can't do anything else with the tool bar across the top (i.e., the menu buttons that include, file, edit, object, type, select, filter, effect, view, window, and help.) I am also unable to close the program using the "x" button in the upper right hand corner. In order to close Illustrator I have to cntl alt del my way out. Have either of you heard about anything like this before??
I truly appreciate all your help!! I have 3 projects that I can't work on b/c of this issue!! UGH!

Any network discovery tool that supports CLI/CDP?

May popular network discovery tools out there (such as WhatsUp Gold, Solarwind) are based on SNMP. Even though they claim to support SSH/Telnet, but they didn't seem to work the way I thought.
What I'm expecting is a software that mimic the way a human being do on discovering a swtich network:
1) Get to the CLI of the 'seed' switch
2) Do a "show cdp neighbor detail"
3) Look at the entries that have IP address
4) Telnet/SSH to that IP and repeat step 1-3 above
Ideally, the software can cycle through a credential list in case different credentials are needed on different devices.
The closest I can found is "NetBrain". But it seems to be an overkill for light use. I could have written some VB Scripts along with SecureCRT to achieve this. But want to check before reinventing the wheel.
Thank you!

I think that all the relevant information from CDP/MAC/ARP etc. is available through SNMP, so there is no need to control a login-session and invest much brain in parsing the output. Especially if you think about that the outout could be different after an image-upgrade.
Beside of that, a good tool that also uses CDP for discovery is Netdot, or if I understand it right, the underlying software netdisco.

Itunes doesn't open after monolingual use, any further ideas?

I installed Monolanguage and now iTunes doesn's open any more.
tried everything mentioned here and in other forums.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro.
I uninstalled Monolanguage
I uninstalled and reinstalled Flip4Mac
I deleted te TLSC file
I repaired the rights of access
I rmoved Flip4Mac and Quicktimeplayer
I restarted the system serveral times
Nothing helps.
Any more ideas?
How can I delete and reinstall iTunes without loosing all my data and backups etc.?

"Monolanguage" as you say several times, or "Monolingual" as in your topic?
Flip4Mac has nothing to do with iTunes.
You have to be careful using Monolingual It can remove components other applications expect to be there. I don't know how it affects iTunes, though it could conceivably be looking for language support you no longer have.
If you're getting so desperate for hard drive space that you're using Monolingual then you may want to think about moving other files off, or buying a bigger hard drive.
You may want to consider re-installing your operating system or restoring your computer from backup if you really think this was caused by using Monolingual.

I have brought an Apple iphone 4 from Apple store Arndale house for use any network, but this phone is locked with vodafone. Please suggest, how to unlock this phone to use all other network in other country?

Dear Team,
i had brought a APPLE IPHONE4 from APPLE STORE, MANCHESTER ARNDALE. new cannon street mall.
when i was visiting for purchasing this device the sales team told me that the phone is unlocked and can use all around the world with any other network when i'm trying to use it other network it showed that NO SERVICE(at network issue) and then i made a call 2 apple customer support so the executive told me that this device has been locked with VODAFONE UK network. this was the FAKE commitment of sales team also its a CHEATING i must say that.
i'm very much disapointed and dissatiesfied with the APPLE STORE sales team...
kindely look toward and give me solution.
thanks,
regard,
Nishant Kumar

I had read that thanks but many happy owners of locked iPhones
claim to have bought from an Apple store they do not actually mean
Apple Retail
Arndale Centre is one of the largest Malls in Europe and every vendor of iPhones is there
Apple retail in UK ONLY sell unlocked iPhones unless you opt for a contract at a reduced price
not something you can do accidently as in sim free in US
But thanks for you guidance

How do i unlock my Sprint iphone5 with IOS 7.4 0 to use any network here in the U S?

How can i unlock my Sprint iphone5 with IOS 7.4.0 to be compartable with other service providers here in the U S?

You can't. Sprint phones can be unlocked ONLY for use on non US carriers. They can not be used on any US carrier other than Sprint. If you want to use a different carrier in the US, sell the phone and buy one you can use.

Can I/should I use Mail on my MacBookPro or do I just use iCloud mail? My Mail won't even open like it used to...Tool bar shows up top but nothing else on screen!

Hi. I've recently been given a pc tablet to enable me to always be connected to my boss since some of what we do is only pc compatible. He's a big Outlook lover and intended to use Windows through Paralles to have all this on my Mac.
After my Mac died and I had to buy a new one, I'm a little leary of doing so and thus investigated the Mail program again. I am confused about it at this point and would love it if anyone could answer some questions i have.
1. If I have an icloud account which I currently use for my .me mail, can I even use Mail anymore?
2. My Mail program hasn't been the same since i upgraded to Lion - which is when I started my iCloud account.
When I open the program all I see is the toolbar - no actual mail or screen even!
3. Can Mail be set up like Outlook in that I could have all of the email accounts I must manage for work (mostly gmail accounts) feeding into one location?
Sorry if this all sounds silly! I really never had a use for Mail when it worked, other than for my personal emailing so I'm afraid I never really learned enough about it!
Thank you,
Christine

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Hi, I have a MacPro and can't get it to connect to my emails or Chrome / Safari to work. The Internet works fine on my iPads; I have used the network diagnosis tool to check that the Ethernet connection is fine, and it is. Help, please?

I don't have another computer that I can connect to the Ethernet; and its not really practical to move the Mac Pro nearer to the Airport Express to get wifi signal. I've tried turning everything completely off (including taking the plug out of the socket), but it still doesn't work. Any ideas, please?

Desperate times call for desperate measures:
System Preferences > Network > Ethernet > (Assist Me) > Assistant ...
... and set it up again, being sure to specify a new "Location". Do not keep the "Automatic" one, create a new one or accept the default (current date&time).
A "Location" is a basket of settings from all over the place that could influence how your network connection behaves. Thye were invented to collect together such stuff so that you could switch fro "Home" to "Work" to "StarBux" just by specifying the Location, and all the settings needed would be pulled together and applied at once.
Sometimes a stray setting gets included by accident, and a new setup eliminates that stray setting and it perks up and works afterward.

Constant error when rendering using any Quicktime config

Hi all,
I'm using AE CC and can't render any comp using the Quicktime codec. Any other codec seems fine strangly.
Attached/below is the error message that crops up whenever I attempt this.
Any help appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

How do I set up a second home network that bypasses Open DNS?

I have been having trouble downloading and streaming itunes content because I use Open DNS on my network.
There have been many posts about disabling Open DNS to solve the problem but if I do that, my internet filter goes away.
I would rather set up a second network that bypasses Open DNS and use it only for my Apple TV.
Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?
I have airport extreme base station with a second airport to extend the range, mac desktop, mac laptop, ATV, several iphones and ipads.
I'm running OS X 10.7.5.
Thanks in advance!

Are you suggesting that I go into my Airport router settings and just blank out the DNS settings and then reboot it?
Yes, exactly. You can always input those addresses again, if it does not solve the problem.
OpenDNS may offer some advantages over your whatever your ISP uses for DNS but optimizing download speed is not one of them.
Maybe I have jumped to the conclusion that Open DNS is the problem when maybe it isn't.
It is possible. As I understand it, Apple's servers attempt to use a location near you to deliver iTunes content, and OpenDNS may result in pointing it to a less ideal location.
3 hours may or may not be normal for HD movie. The download speed depends on a number of factors that are difficult to surmise without knowing details about your network and your ISP.

I bought an Ipad with cell in Singpore and want to use it in uk with uk sim card, is any network okay?

I need to roam in uk - can I use any network sim? Bought Ipad in Singapore?

Don't see why not. I have an iPad 2 which I bought in France, where I live. I have a French (contract) sim card in my iPad, and every time I arrive in the UK, I switch to a British (pay as you go) sim card I got in London.
Mine comes from O2, but I have previously had one from Vodafone. I only use it when there is no wifi available, as my particular offer is limited to 1gb of data a month.

If I buy an unlocked iPhone4, would I be able to update its system using any compatible network?

Does anyone know if one can be able to upgrade an unlocked iPhone4 to a newer OS version available using any network, say T-mobile?

If the iPhone has had an authorised unlock (by the carrier, or is a brand new unlocked model) you can use it with any wireless carrier in your region (and in some cases the world). If it is an unauthorised unlock (jailbreak) updating or restoring the software will lock it again and you will need to contact the carrier yourself to unlock it.
Be really careful when buying second-hand "unlocked" iPhones because most are done with a jailbreak.
