Ethernet not showing
I recently purchased a refurb Mac Pro. For some reason I can't get the ethernet port to work. I ran a diagnostics and it doesn't even show up as active.
Any help would be appreciated.
I was thinking about purchasing a USB-to-Ethenet adapter if all else fails
Open System Preferences, Network, and click the question mark next to the Advanced button for help on setting Network up.

Built in Ethernet not showing up
I'v got a 15inch Power book running 10.4.3 In my network settings the Built in Ethernet option is not showing up. I plug in a working ethernet cable (works fine with other powerbooks) and the computer can not detect a connection. Run network setup assistant and it can't make a connection.
Help.This is my 5th post on my problem and I've received only one response--and that was just to tell me to post my question somewhere else. So here I am again.
When I go to Sys Preferences and Network. I pull up TCP/IP and there are no visible addresses. Network Status is all blank. What's the deal with my ethernet connection?
Anyone?

Thunderbolt ethernet not showing up in network preferences
this is happening with both my thunderbolt display and thunderbolt<->ethernet adaptor....
the ether net in the t-bolt display WAS working.... but was having probs with the ethernet adaptor while on the road, so I tried deleting the thunderbolt ethernet entry from the Network Preferences panel. Well, now when I hook up my thunderbolt Display, the option doesn't re-appear! So now I'm thinking there's something in the system that's keeping that from re-appearing in the network preference panel, and it could be the reason for both items not working.
The controller is recognized at a low level by the system - in system report I get:
Apple 57761-B0:
Name: ethernet
Type: Ethernet Controller
Bus: PCI
Slot: Thunderbolt Slot 2@11,0,0
Vendor ID: 0x14e4
Device ID: 0x16b0
Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x106b
Subsystem ID: 0x00f1
Revision ID: 0x0010
Link Width: x1

Kext name: AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext

mDNS offload capable: c8:2a:14:4f:a3:90
Version: 3.2.4b8
So it's a problem with the Network Preferences panel getting loaded, somehow. I tried re-creating the kext cache, that didn't help.
Digging around a little in the system, I see this:
cd /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/
$ ls
AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext AppleYukon2.kext
AppleIntel8254XEthernet.kext IOEthernetAVBController.kext
AppleUSBEthernet.kext Intel82574L.kext
AppleUSBGigEthernet.kext nvenet.kext
But I'm out of ideas how to get the thunderbolt ethernet option back into the Network Preference panel. help?!I also tried disconnecting the display and adding it back and rebooting - nothing worked.
But here's a bizarre twist: I show "Bluetooth PAN" connected and active, and it's coming from the Thunderbolt display! I can get online. Then I disconnect the network cable from the display, and test again - no network. So somehow, the driver for Bluetooth PAN is totally confused with the display Ethernet. In fact, the Bluetooth PAN shows connected, and "No PAN devices found". So I'm connected to a phantom device.
Maybe deleting the PAN and display, adding back the display, will get it to recognize it properly.
The short of it is I have Ethernet connected now through the display, but using the Bluetooth PAN device driver. -
Built in ethernet not showing in network preferences
A friend has been experiencing random dropouts via airport, as a workaround she has been using a direct cable to the adsl router from time to time. Now all of a sudden she cannot see the ethernet anymore.
In network preferences ethernet is not displayed in the network status, regardless of whether a cable is inserted or not.
About this mac lists an ethernet adaptor and ethernet is enabled in the network port configurations in the preferences.
Dis/enabling the ethernet in network port configurations has no effect neither does repair disk permissions.
The machine is less than a year old, fully updated and still under warranty, anything else she can try?did you fixed the problem?
i am having something like you where the ethernet worked for a while and then it was greyed out... and i went as far as formating my computer and reinstalling os x... but now the computer thinnks i don't have a ethernet card...

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM. My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore. Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc. I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads. Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system. I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system. But are there other options to connect the new TC. Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above. after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working. Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
Now a rant. I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work. The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network. Are we going backwards?
Thanks!
lennydasOk... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
I think this is mistaken.
Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC. the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
Thanks again!
You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options. -
Nexus 7009 does not show the N7K-F248XP-25 modules ethernet ports n sh run
Hi everyone,
I have a question...
I going to install two Nexus 7009 with three N7K-F248XP-25 modules on each one, I am planning to create 3 VDC, but at the initial configuration the system does not show the Ethernet ports of these modules, even with the show inventory and show module I can see that the modules are recognized and its status is OK. There is something that I have to do before start to configure these modules...? enable some feature or license in order to see the ports with show running CLI...?You can enable F1, F2, M1, M1XL and M2XL Series modules. There are no restrictions on the type of mix allowed for the system module-type command. The system module-type command allows a mix of F1, F2, M1, M1XL, and M2XL Series modules in the VDC.
Note The limit-resource module-type command controls the restrictions on the module-types that can be mixed in the VDC.
Note Use the system module-type f2 command to allow F2E Series modules into a VDC. The ports from F2 and F2E Series modules can be allocated like any other ports.
Note The modules that you do not enable must not be powered on after you configure this feature and enter yes. An error message will force you to manually disable these modules before proceeding. This prevents major disruption and service issues within a VDC.
The no form of this command resets the configuration mode to allow all modules.
hope this helps -
Mac OS X Server v10.7 does not show the ethernet link aggregated interface i created. Does Lion server support ethernet link aggregated interfaces?
Thanks for responding Cold--
Hardware: Mac Pro 3.0 GHZ quad core xeon
I read the link but it still does not explain why the aggregated dual ethernet interface does not show up in the Network tab of the hardware section Lion Server. I was able to see it on the network and looks to be using a single static IP that I assigned. My concern was that is this supported and will it allow for failover and double performance of the single network interface.
Any thoughts?
Thanks again! -
Movies in my iMac's iTunes do not show up Apple TV(1st Gen)
So frustrated. Movies in my iMac's iTunes do not show up on my Apple TV(1st Gen) in the Shared Movie area. I've done the Media Type fix to "movie." I've re-started and re-booted and changed the Apple TV from ethernet to wireless and re-connected iTunes. Renamed the library. Everything's up to date. Grrr.
I have now restored Factory Settings on the Apple TV. Looked promising until iTunes hangs everytime I tried to enter the podcast page of the sync options. And I get errors that my newest movies, created in Final Cut Pro X with the Share with 720p Apple Devices export settings are not compatible with Apple TV.
Unbelievable. -
Apple TV (1st gen) does not show up in iTunes 11
I have a 1st generation Apple TV. It seemed to be working fine, except that my shared music did not appear under My Music. I thought maybe there was a connectivity issue with iTunes, so I decided to disconnect from iTunes and then re-link to iTunes. The problem is, the AppleTV does not show up under devices in iTunes. If I go to Preferences-AppleTV, it does show up with a status of "syncing", however, the Apple TV does not show it is connected to iTunes. I tried removing it in Preferences-AppleTV on the iMac, but it reappears after a few minutes, again with a status of "syncing". I have verified both the iMac and Apple TV are connected to the correct network, both have the correct AppleID and password. iMac is running Snow Leopard, iTunes 11.02 (absolutely HATE version 11), Apple TV 3.02.
Two questions:
1. How do I get iTunes to see my Apple TV so I can enter the 5 digit code and connect?
2. Once that is done, how do I get it to show my shared music library (Movies and TV shows were there previously, just not Music)?I have the same problem. It was working fine up until the last update for iTunes 11.0.2
Here's the details:
I have an Apple TV - first Gen and up until a couple of weeks ago, was regularly playing sync'd iTunes music and videos through it on a daily basis.
I see other devicess showing up in the "Devices" list in the left panel of iTunes (such as iPad, iPhone, etc.)
AppleTV used to be there consistently, then disappeared upon update to 11.0.2
Apple TV also does not show up in the devices tab under the Preferences window.
I have tried multiple suggestions on the support forum but none have worked.
Apple TV is able to access the network, is on the same network as the iMac with iTunes library connected. Both are connected to network via ethernet cable (not wifi). Both are able to access the internet (apple tv plays movie prieviews and gets updates). Using the Terminal app, I am able to ping the apple TV's IP number from the iMac and get a successful return.
Both have latest software downloads.
I have tried cold-booting the apple TV, resetting the router, and verified in the router device list that both imac and appleTV are listed as active, un-blocked connections.
I don't intend to buy an Apple TV 2nd gen or later (since I bought this one and it's not working now due to software update, what guarantee that a later model won't generate the same problem later.
One last wrinkle, I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old who are jonesing hard for their "dance party" fix.
Have you ever wronged a two year old?

Suddenly all my Apple TVs do not show up in iTunes anymore
Ok, to say this right at the beginning: YES, I am an Apple product freak. I got several Apple products that I am synchronizing with my iTunes.
Three of these - 3 Apple TV (2 first gen and 1 ATV 2) were working FINE until about a four days ago. I had them all running in the same network. The two first gen ATV were showing up in iTunes; the second gen was able to access everything through the home sharing. All was well.
About four days ago I used my ATVs the last time without problem.
Today I cannot get ANY of the ATV to work in iTunes/access iTunes. They do not show up in the iTunes menu, I cannot access my music/tv shows/movies ... nothing works. I CAN access the internet. I can download new tv music/tv shows/movies. I can access the iTunes store and buy anything I like. I can access youtube through the ATVs ... everything internet related work - just not the connection to iTunes on my Win 7 computer (which can also access the internet and can ping all three devices without problem).
I deinstalled iTunes (now several times), deinstalled Norton 360 (because I read here in the Forum, that the Firewall might be the problem. I opened the ports for iTunes in my router (which I did not need before, but did it anyways just to test). Nothing works. I even reset all my ATV and reinstalled them to the newest firmware/software version - no effect. I am at the end of my wits. I tried everything both via Ethernet cable and WiFi ...
Now - each time I reinstalled iTunes it pretty much automatically had all the configuration iTunes had before I uninstalled it. Because I (at least) think I tested all other factors, I wonder if maybe a problem could have occured within the configuration which is now being copied to each new installation of iTunes. Does anyone got an idea, how to circumvent that?
Or does anyone have any other idea, which I did not try already? I would be very grateful, if someone could help me out with this problem. THANK YOUPlease disregard. After a new installation of Win 7 and new iTunes everything works again. Not sure what the problem was ... but at least it works now. Thanks everyone!

Apple TV is not showing the authorized computer on my network. All three other Apple devises are sharing. Apple TV is getting my pictures, but not my music or iTunes Match.
It is not properly connected to the network.
Make sure location is set correctly

Try ethernet

I bought Demi Lovato - "Unbroken" along with multiple other music purchases but this is the only album that does not show up in my purchased area or has the feature of re-downloading when i search it into iTunes. I have a new laptop and even on my old laptop which i purchased it on, it is not re-downloadable or even re-purchasable. I am using the exactly the same iTunes iD. It is in my itunes on my old laptop but I can't download or purchase it again onto my new laptop eventhough it says it has already been purchased but it doesn't show up in my purchased area. Also, i go onto my old laptop and i meet the same problem. Hope you understand this, thanks
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 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 Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
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
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 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.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Are you sure you meet the requirements? It is not possible to purchase Mavericks because it was a free download. However, you no longer can download Mavericks since the release of Yosemite. If Mavericks works on your model, then so will Yosemite. Frankly, though, for a computer that age I would stick with Snow Leopard. It will allow you to use any older PPC applications none of which will work in Lion or later. Snow Leopard will perform faster for you on that model. -
