Finding the MAC address?

I need to assign fixed IPs to several computers on my mixed ethernet/wireless network. I notice that there are MANY MAC addresses on any given computer when examined by the profiler. Which profiler MAC address is the correct one to use?
For devices connected by Ethernet, you would want to use the Built-in Ethernet Hardware (MAC) Address; for devices connected by AirPort, you would want to use the AirPort Hardware (MAC) Address as listed in the Systems Profiler.

Where to find the MAC address?

I just purchased the latest iPod Touch. I need to know the MAC address to register with my WI-FI. Where do I look for it?

Hello LCMan,
On your iPod Touch, head to *Settings -> General -> About*. Then look for the *Wi-Fi Address* field and there is where you will find the MAC address.

Where can I find the Mac address on somewhere other than my iPod touch? Like the box?

Where can I find the Mac Address for my iPod Touch? Is it on the box somewhere? I lost my iPod a while ago, but I was told that if I had the Mac Adress, I would be able to retrace it. Help!

You were told incorrectly. Knowing the MAC address will not help you track your iPod. The only way to track your iPod (and then only under limited specific conditions) is to have turned on Find My iPhone on the iPod before it was lost.

Where do I find the MAC address on my new Airport Express?

If you use AirPort Utility 5.6, you will find the MAC addresses under Manual Setup>AirPort>Summary.
There should be three MAC IDs: one for each of the wireless channels and one for Ethernet.

Where do i find the MAC address on my Airport Extreme?

Your AirPort Extreme has two MAC addresses, one for Wi-Fi, which is called the AirPort ID and another for the wired connection, called the Ethernet ID
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
(Here, I am assuming that you are using AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion )
The AirPort and Ethernet IDs are on the summary page

I need this to extend the wi fi range in my home. I'm using a Motorola Cable modem and to extend with Airport Extreme, I need to set up inside Motorola the MAC Address of the Airport Extreme.

There are actually 3 MAC Addresses on an AirPort Extreme......1 for Ethernet, 1 for 2.4 GHz wireless and 1 for 5 GHz wireless.
You can normally see them by using AirPort Utility. The rub here is that the AirPort needs to be setup and working to be accessed by AirPort Utility.
The other approach is to look on the bottom of the AirPort. The newer AirPorts usually have this information in very small print, so a magnifying glass will probably be required. Other versions embed the numbers in the foam mat.
Note.....Apple uses proprietary settings for the their wireless "extend" feature.....designed to only allow other Apple devices to connect. So, it is extremely unlikely that the AirPort would be compatible with a 3rd party router if you are trying to use the AirPort to wirelessly extend the network.
Let us know if you are able to do this.

How do I find the Mac address for my 8900?

I have a wireless network and can't connect to it at all. I have looked and typed in Blackberries search engine and came up with nothing, only answers are about a MAC computer, not what I am looking for.
I have to add the Mac address to the wireless network in order to get past the firewall and this is not working for me, any ideas.
Thank you,

Where can I find the MAC address

Dear all,
Do anybody know in which scripts or files I could find out the MAC address (not type command line e.g ifconfig -a), thx a log!!
Regards,
Vincent

Hi Vincent,
<pre>
OK, Sparc systems gets its MAC address from NVRAM
and Intel (x86) systems gets its MAC address from
the ethernet card that they use. Since you had posted
this question on Solaris on Intel I presumed it to be
Intel.
Following is an unsupported and untested
method(atleast from my end). All the best.
You may try to change the MAC address using the
ifconfig command.
(ifconfig elxl0 ether x:x:x:x:x:x)
In this file, add the entry at bottom.
Do this on test system.
/etc/rcS.d/S30rootusr.sh (<= SunOS 5.7)
/etc/rcS.d/S30network.sh (>= SunOS 5.8)
example:
ifconfig <interface> ether 8:0:20:83:fe:75
If this does'nt solves your purpose, then please provide
the reason why do you want to change the MAC address,
perhaps one may suggest some good alternate method.
Thanks

Where can I find the MAC address on ATV3?

My internet provider is requesting the MAC address of from the Apple TV 3 I'm trying to hook up. It is not plainly listed anywhere. Is there another name for this address? Where can I find it?
Thanks,
Pterodroma

There will be two MAC addresses.
One for wi-fi and one for ethernet.
It should be listed under Settings>General>About, depending on which you are using.
If you have ethernet cable plugged in wifi is disabled so it should be the ethernet address. If ethernet unplugged it should give the wifi Mac address.
Apple used to put the MAC address on teh product box, but for some daft reason had not done so with either the latest iPad or AppleTV3.

How to find the mac address

I am trying to connect my iPad to my Netgear router and activate the user list. Amazingly the router status does not show the iPad although it is connected. I used the mac address which I found under settings --> general --> info. I used the WLAN address to add it to the routers user list. Unfortunately it did not work. Any idea which other address I could use and where to find it on the iPad. Thanks for the help.

Does it show under Options | Status as a WLAN Mac Address?

How do I find the MAC address of a CLIENT ACCESS POINT created from the FILE SERVICES ROLE

I have several Client Access Points created within the clustered File Services Role. The only way I seem to be able to determine the MAC address of each of these, is by visiting the DHCP server.
Does anyone know if there is a way of reporting on this from the server (active node) itself? I have tried ipconfig all, checked the properties of the CAP in the FCS console etc.
Many thanks.

Hi,
As far as I know there have no original option for query all the CAP MAC address, may you can create a PowerShell command then filter the configuration result, you can ask
in PowerShell forum for the further help.

How do I find the MAC address of a paired bluetooth device?

I have just connected a bluetooth device to my MacBook. When it was pairing, it displayed the MAC address of the device, but a few seconds later, the MAC address was replaced with a test description of the device. I need to figure out what that MAC address was.
For clarification, this is not an ethernet connection, it is Bluetooth. The device is a type of headset, it has no use accessable interface, and no the address is not on the device itself.
Thanks,
-- JC

Open System Preferences > Bluetooth
Select the device on the left.
Then click the asterick with a downward facing arrow then click More Info.
The Addrress will show on the right.

How can i find the mac address of a brand new iphone 5 since i can't get to the settings screen untill it's signed onto the web

I have a brand new iphone. my home wifi router has a mac filter. I can't use my phone until the wifi is set up but i cant set up my phone until it connects to the internet. is there a way to find the mac addreess without getting to the settings menu?

It's not on the box.
Try turning off Mac filtering temporarily on your router, finish the setup, then turn it back on. Or use another WiFi hotspot, such as an Apple store or a carrier's store. Or McDonalds. Or Starbucks.
