Ethernet adapter not working

The ethernet adapter or port on my PowerBook G4 17 inch has fizzled out. Does anyone know where I can get another and how difficult it is to install?

I think the ethernet port is on the logic board so replacing that would be pretty grim. Cost aside, PowerBooks are not a cakewalk when it comes to getting inside, lots of little screws to sort plus some very delicate connectors that, if broken, require a nerw logic board.
The least expensive option, if your CardBus slot is working is to get an ethernet card for it. This site shows four, although they are getting harder to find:
Cardbus slot ethernet adaptors
You'll have to check with the vendor or manufacturer to see if the cardbus adaptors are Mac-compatible.

Since upgrading to Yosemite mu USB 3 to Ethernet adapter not working

I just recently (earlier today) upgraded to Yosemite 10.10 from Mavericks and now my USB 3.0 to ethernet adapter is not working. I see a bunch of people complaining about this online but I can't follow the solutions. They seem to be playing with plist files and kext files but I am not sure what to do. Any help on getting this resolved would be greatly appreciate.
Let me know what information is needed.
I am using a MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Intel Core i7. It is Model MacBookPro11,3 which is a Retina 15". I bought it February of this year.

Well, the issue with USB anything is that the device manufacturers have to supply compatible drivers. Check with CableMatters for an updated driver.

Ethernet adapter not working with new Mac Mini after NetRestore.

I'm currently working with an issue regarding Mini 4,1s and their difference from the main driver set in 10.6.4. I'm in an educational environment and attempting to effectively netrestore a hard drive image that was built on a Mini 3,1 with all possible updates made to the OS (10.6.4).
The new minis have no problem netbooting, and downloading the disc image from the server *over ethernet*. In fact, they do it in a very rapid fashion. The issue is that once the machines boot up, they no longer have ethernet capabilities. In fact, the ethernet device does not even appear in system profiler at all. After reading quite a lot about this problem, it appears that there is a difference in the driver set on the special "Mid-2010 Mini 4,1" update and the driver set found in a normal 10.6.4 install.
I have attempted various permutations of installing the Mid-2010 update, but most of them include having an existing 10.6.4 install that was not built on the Mini, and attempting to install the update over the install, or replacing the driver in suspect itself. The issue persists.
Is there something I'm missing, and is this a common problem?
tl;dr: non mac mini 10.6.4 installation copied on mac mini 4,1, and ethernet drivers don't work.

Thanks for your suggestion, I cloned my 1.83GHZ Mac Mini's main drive with Carbon Copy Cloner and restored it onto a new 2.4GHZ Mac Mini. Since the new Mac was replacing the older one's mother ship role in my HTPC setup, this method would ensure the easiest transition. Everything works fine, except that ethernet wont work, it did before, but doesn't now. I already tried several confirmed-working-by-me cables and no luck.
I tried your step and understand the logic behind them, but as soon as I replaced my files with the ones you suggested from my 2.4GHZ Mac Install Disc, the system reports some conflicts. I repaired permissions after and before this happens (tried twice, once after successfully restoring via Tim Machine) and still it occurred. After reboot Ethernet was still dead and so was WiFi. Luckily I was able to get everything back to normal by replacing the entire Extensions folder with the one prior to the changes. Restoring the two files alone would not do it.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

After i updated to mavericks, my usb ethernet adapter stopped working.

I'm not sure why, but when I updated my software to mavericks, my USB ethernet adapter stopped working.

I'm using that adapter:
http://www.edimax.com/en/support_detail.php?pd_id=445&pl1_id=5&pl2_id=26
After I updated to Mavericks, I installed the driver in this page, but it didn't work. Then I googled "AX88772" which is my adapter's part no. or something like that, and I installed that one:
http://www.asix.com.tw/download.php?sub=driverdetail&PItemID=97
I wasn't expecting that work but that did work. So, I think the solution of the problem is finding the right driver. I hope you solve your problem too.

Mini-Displayport to DVI adapter not working, but Mini-Displayport to VGA and Thunderbolt work fine

Mini-Displayport to DVI adapter not working, but Mini-Displayport to VGA and Thunderbolt work fine.
This is a brand new MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012) just received. I suspect that this is a hardware problem as:
The mini-displayport to DVI adapter and the external monitor that I am utilizing connect and operate just fine using my older MacBook Pro (mid-2010) with the same OS.
The new MacBook Pro powers the external monitor with a mini-displayport to VGA adapater without issue.
The new MacBook Pro powers an Apple Thunderbolt display without issue.
Both MacBook Pro's are running OSX Lion 10.7.4.
The only combination which does not work is the mini-displayport to DVI adapater used in conjunction with the brand new MacBook Pro (mid-2012).
All adapters and components (mini-displayport adapters) are Apple retail adapter.
I have tried several external monitors, including my Dell U2412m.
When I connect the mini-displayport to DVI adapater to the new MacBook Pro (mid-2012), nothing happens. The external monitor reports "no signal" and attempts to go into sleep mode. Using the "Detect displays" button has no effect, even when used multiple times. Rebooting does not help, nor does resetting the SMC or PRAM.
Any other suggestions before I take it to the Genius Bar?

I turns out that the logic board of my MacBook Pro was faulty (despite being brand new).
I took it to the Apple Store, presented the problem, and one of the Tech's came to the same conclusion that I had -- hardware failure. Phone support was no help in the matter (and even told me that what I was trying to do wasn't a supported option, which is rediculous). However, the Genius Bar did take care of the problem, and my MacBook Pro was back to me with a replaced logic board within a few days.
Hope that htis helps.

G5 dvi to vga adapter not working

DVI to VGA adapter not working with my G5 Dual 2.3 GHz Power PC. I am trying to use a VGA Monitor but can not get a signal. I also am using a Dell with a DVI Input and that works fine using a DVI Cable from my G5 to the Dell u2410.

Bad adapter?
The G5 ports are DVI-I. Any good DVI-I to VGA adapter should be fine.

I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.
I did notice that stuninstdrv.exe is running in task manager. Any help would be great...

If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
Let me know if that helped you.

StarTech Adapter not working with Dell Inspiron 15, model 3521

Side Note: I wrote a reply to a thread that was from 2013. I do apologize because the link was sent to me by my bf and I did not realize how old it was. Since my reply has to be approved I can't delete it.
Current Issue: StarTech Adapter not working with Dell Inspiron 15 model 3521
I bought my Dell laptop last year and at first I did not realize that it had only one audio jack (combo, as the specifications manual says), I only noticed when I was trying to plug in my Ozone Rage ST headset.
I searched online threads and found out that I needed an adapter and most people mentioned Headset Buddy. I couldn't find any adapters for sale in my country (or employees didn't really know what I was talking about) and since Headset Buddy is a bit expensive, I decided to try StarTech Headset adapter for headsets with separate headphone/microphone plugs - 3.5mm 4 position to 2x 3 position 3.5mm M/F www.amazon.com/.../ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top.
It arrived today and let me tell you that I can't make it work. I can hear everything but I can't get the external mic to work or even be detected. I have always used my headset (mostly for gaming) and I prefer to use my external mic rather than the internal one. First I connected my headphone and mic jacks to the adapter and only after that did I connect it to the laptop combo jack. I also tried vice-versa. It didn't work, regardless of the order. I even tried with a different headset and it still didn't work. What else can I do?
I have also found a thread on Dell forums saying that Headset Buddy doesn't even work on Dell Inspiron 15, model 3521. So since it doesn't work and I'm assuming StarTech doesn't, either, what am I to do/buy?! I am getting extremely frustrated and I'm very disappointed with Dell because the brand should have included with the laptop a proper working adapter for these situations and not make its customers buy an extra accessory to make whatever working gear they already had function. It just doesn't make sense to me! Either make the changes work properly or simply don't touch anything. I spent some of my savings on this laptop which, overall, is great but now I am being forced to spend more on an item to allow me to use my headset. I am running out of options here and even Dell can't seem to tell its customers with 100% certainty what really works for this specific model.
If I can't make the adapter work, I just hope I can return it, otherwise I'll end up with no refund and with a piece of equipment I have no other use for!
Any thoughts?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
This is the first time I was forced to buy adapters such as these so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if there's anything else I can do to make it work. When I plug the adapter to my Dell, the laptop presents me with several options such as: headphones, headphone, speakers, skull candy headphones, etc (maybe some may have different names but since I see them in Portuguese, I'm not quite sure how they appear for someone who has the computer in English), I have picked different options and it still doesn't work, the only noticeable changes are sound quality related, I guess.

WiFi or Ethernet do not work!

I Have a Macbook and the Wi Fi or Ethernet will not work. I renew DHCP lease and the internet works for 10 seconds than I have to renew it again. I have 2 more Macs and they work fine. I have two routers and this computer has the same problem with both. Is there a way to solve this?
I have notice that a lot of people have had this problem has anyone resolved this issue.
So far this is what I have tryed:
Macintosh> Library> Preferences> SystemConfiguration (deleting all documents in this last folder).
-reseting router
-Macbook Software update
-Flush DNS cache using Terminal (dscacheutil -flushcache)
-holding Command+Option+P+R during restart until hearing another chime
-airport on/off
-removed airport and added again from Network Preferences
-Network>Advanced (deleted Preferred Networks and also from Keychains)

I had to convert the official ISO before it would boot happily as a USB on my used Air I've just got, I followed the instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … B_from_ISO including the suggestion below to use rEFInd instead of gummiboot and it worked for me.

My hdmi adapter not working anymore, no physical damage. Solution?

My hdmi adapter not working anymore, no physical damage. Solution?
Strange is, that i used it several times, it worked fine. Then wothout any reason (like software updete, etc) it just stopped workung, no sync.
I have not changed any parameters of my TV or Beamer.
Hardware:
Ipad 2, Apple Ipad HDMI Adapter, Samsung P2770FH, Optoma HD 65.
Thanks for any help.

I've only used mine a couple of times without any problem, but due to the thinness of the iPad, care has to be taken in inserting the adapter. Slightly wrong angle and it won't go it.
I had a laptop a few years ago where the USB connector failed. I had it replaced under the warantee, The service man told me it was not an uncommom failure on a laptop due to people "torquing" the USB socket while inserting/removing USB items. I have much the same feeling when inserting either the charger cord or my HDMI adapter.
From your description, unless the HDMI adapter failed internally, it sounds like the socket is causing the problem. A few days ago we watch our first movie from the iPad via my ATV2 and "Air Play". Worked great so I don't plan on using the HDMI adapter much at all in the future. Yes, it is a $99 solution, but it works for me. Of course, I already had the ATV2. I doubt if I would buy one just for this abiliity. If nothing else, it seems like a trip to the Apple Genius bar is in order for maybe a replacement unit.
However, with iOS 5 coming out with supposedly total mirroring, it might be worth thinking about getting an ATV2.
