Help a dumb blonde!! G4 Powermac + Macbook Pro
Hi there.
I am trying to configure my AEBS. It's working great with my new Macbook Pro (thats where I installed the AEBS) but I can't get my G4 PowerMac connected via ethernet (it has no airport card).
I'm running OSX 10.3.9 on the G4 and so I can't use the airport install disc (apparently it requires 10.4 or greater).
My ISP is bell sympatico and they told me they dont give out static IP adresses. My Macbook is working great, using PPP. But I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to do to get the G4 to talk to the AEBS. When I run the airport utility it won't recognize the AEBS.
I'm sure this is all vague but if anyone has any insight it would be much appreciated. I've been triyng to figure this out for a couple of hours now and my ISP was no help...
Sylvia222, Welcome to the discussion area!
Your AEBS should be configured to connect via PPPoE. Only a single device should handle the PPPoE chores and that is your AEBS.
The MacBook should be configured so that PPPoE is DISABLED.
The MacBook should be configured to use AirPort and DHCP to get an IP address.
You don't need to install any software on the G4. The G4 should be configured to use DHCP and Ethernet to get an IP address.

Hi,
I was wondering if someone can help me. I have a MacBook Pro, it has came up saying I need to free up space on the disk as it full every time it starts up, so I log in and no icons or applications show up on the screen just my background wallpaper, the only thing I can do is the force quit keyboard shortcut but there is nothing to quit, I have tried to start up in safe mode but again there is no icons in the desktop,
I have my disks that came with my laptop I have went into disk utility to repair disk and I still seem to have the same problem .. No icons or apps or anything lol just the cursor I can only shut down the laptop via power but and the press shut down.
Please help I am going out my mind with this thing :(
Thanks x jadeThis can be used to boot the machine and delelte enough files to get it to boot normally.
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Read about storage drive so you can store your extra stuff.
Most commonly used backup methods
Also here to see how a full boot drive slows the machine down
Why is my computer slow? -
Please, help!
After upgrading to Yosemite, my dock has disappeared, along with the dashboard and the wallpaper! Can anyone help? I'm using a MacBook Pro, retina, bought it last year.
ThanksHave you been trying to download from the app store? Did you get a message?
As a suggestion, you might go to an Apple store (genius bar appointment) for help. As far as I know, there should be no charge.

can someone pls help me with java on my macbook pro because after i download the mountain lion java has died and i need java to see streaming quotes from stock market
Java is no longer included in Mac OS X by default. If you want Java, you will have to install it.
However, note that you should think twice before installing Java for such a trivial need as looking at stock market quotes. There are other ways to get that information that don't involve Java, and using Java in your web browser is a HUGE security risk right now. Java has been vulnerable to attack almost constantly for the last year, and has become a very popular, frequently used method for getting malware installed via "drive-by downloads." You really, truly don't want to be using it. See:
Java is vulnerable… Again?!

Help! external disk reader for macbook pro
Hi guys, I really need some help.
Ive got a 2008 MacBook Pro - V 10.5.8 MacBookPro4,1 using Leopard.
The internal superdrive is completely ruined, It hasnt worked for a long time, though Ive not really needed to use it. However I deperately need to update my system version and have a copy of Snow Leopard on disk ready to go and get updated.
Because my internal superdrive isnt working and I'm out of warranty, do you guys know of an external drive that will work for me? Im going out of my mind here after the guy in the Apple store pushed me into buying an external superdrive which doesnt even work with my MacBook!! (it'll only work with macbook Airs or newer macs without inbuilt superdrives)!!!!
Please help if you can, Im happy to get a 3rd party drive aslong as it will read the update disk.
Thanks in advance!Thanks So much for Aple produce 'Just working'. I cant believe the guy sold me a superdrive, he must of known it wasnt going to work.
I guess Ive got to do another apples store run and thenn on to PC world!
Thanks for your help. -
Can anyone help me with Bakcing up my MacBook Pro???
Can anyone help me with Bakcing up my MacBook Pro???
Assuming you're looking for recommendations rather than experiencing specific problems, I would advise the following:
Buy 2 external hard disks. You don't say what model of MBP you have, but I would suggest buying the fastest type of drive your MBP supports. So, instead of going for a cheap USB2 drive, I would consider FW800 or Thunderbolt if your MBP supports it. It might cost more but will be faster.
One of the drives needs to be only as big as your internal HD. (Technically, it only needs to be as big as the amount of data you want to back up but to be safe, get one that matches your HD size). This HD can be used for a Bootable Clone. I use SuperDuper from Shirt Pocket, and a Freecom 1GB FireWire 800 drive. You can try it out for free, but it's worth buying a licence because once it's licenced you can do 'smart backups' where it only needs to copy files that have changed. The free version will have to do an entire clone each time which takes longer.
The second drive you should use as a Time Machine backup. The bigger this is, the more backups you can keep, so the further back in time you can go.
The reason to have both is that they both do different things.
SuperDuper is great for doing a complete 'emergency' backup every so often (i.e. before you go away, or at the end of each week, whatever). This disk means that if your MBP is lost, stolen or the HD goes pop, you can recover pretty much the whole system immediately, because you can boot from that drive on any Intel Mac that supports your bus type and OS version. I do an SD clone every so often and keep it hidden, in case anything happens to my MBP.
Time Machine backups are NOT bootable. However, in an emergency you can do a clean install of your OS and then get everything back by migrating from your last TM backup. But the best and most common use of TM backups is simply 'turning back the clock', i.e. you deleted something you wished you hadn't, or even saved over a piece of work you didn't mean to, or installed some software that has caused problems. As long as there was a recent TM backup, you can just get the older version of that file, or revert your whole system. I carry my TM drive around with me in my laptop bag and have it sat there attached and backing up the whole time I'm working.
Well worth having both strategies in place.
As an aside, if you keep confidential files (client or personal) on your MBP and carry it around somewhere like London as I do, it's also worth considering using FileVault so if your lappy gets nicked you don't have to worry about them getting at all your info. And if you have a clone at home, in the worst instance, all you really have to worry about is just buying a new laptop and restoring it. Expensive, sure, but at least your data is safe. -
Help with networking between pc and Macbook PRo
i am using macbook pro running 10.5.4 , at home i have 3 pc's using Windows XP and they connected via router .
When i connect the mac i can see all the pc's and i have access to each one of them and i also have internet . the ip that i get is 192.168.1.4.
My problem is none of the pc's see the mac . i configured the file sharing section in the mac plus all the " share files using SMB " .
when i going to " My Network Places " in the pc i don't see any of the shared foldes of the mac but when i am getting into :
ENTIRE NETWORK > MICROSOFT WINDOWS NETWORK > WORKGROUP
i can see there the mac but when i click all i see is PRinters & Faxes .
i tried everything but nothing helps plus i tried to find out if there is something related to the admin account ?
Any Idea what should i do ?x's networking isnt the best (read alot of the time it likes to play dumb). But most of the time the problem lies in the numbers. You need to make sure both machines have the same first 3 numbers in their ip address (ie, 192.168.0.x) and that they are both looking at the same router (ie. 192.168.0.1). Thats usually the first trouble maker. But i have also noticed lately leopard sometimes like to just not network. Might try a restart if the number thing isnt playing nice.
there are other potential external problems, like if you've directly connected the computers by ethernet, but arent using a crossover cable. But thats probably your problem, since you have file sharing turned on. -
I want to mirror my MacBook Pro's screen to my HDTV. I had it at one time by clicking the Mirror Icon on my upper menu bar but I do not have it any more?
What am I missing? In the System Perferences the display menu seems incomplete. There is no where in there to set my MacBook Pro to mirroring.
Can someone please help me?
I would apprecate any help I get.
ThanksThe mirroring selection is in the "Arrangement" tab and only shows up on the MacBook Pro LCD, not the external display.

Help Determining Best Option for a MacBook Pro
I will be purchasing a new MBP, and I am having some challenges determining my best option. I have researched quite a bit, but the more I research the more I get lost. I was hoping that the support community here would be able to assist in my decision. I am very price consious so I am looking at the refurbished models from the Apple store. I am also a Web Developer so I need to be able to run Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustator plus have a few browsers going with multiple tabs in each. Speed (both working with files and browsing the web) is of the utmost importance to me as I need a computer that can keep up with me. Basically I need a fast computer so I can get my job done quickly. I would love to purchase a new Mac and max it out, but cost is a very important issue which is why I am looking at these two models.
I am torn between two models in the Apple Refurbished section:
Option 1.
Refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.5GHz Dual-core Intel i5
Originally released June 2012
13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display, 1280-by-800 resolution
4GB (2 x 2GB) of 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM
500GB Serial ATA @ 5400 rpm
8x double-layer SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Intel HD Graphics 4000
with this model I would max out the RAM to 16GB and switch the HD to an 128GB SSD that I have.
Option 2.
Refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.6GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5 with Retina Display
Originally released February 2013
13.3-inch (diagonal) Retina display; 2560-by-1600 resolution at 227 pixels per inch
8GB of 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
256GB Flash Storage
720p FaceTime HD Camera
Intel HD Graphics 4000
What it comes down to is that I like option 1 as the cost is much lower and I can upgrade, but I am nwondering if option 2 would be a faster than option 1 even after I upgrade the RAM and HD. I'm just hesitant about the retina model as I cannot upgrade. To me most of the numbers look the same, but I do not know much about what is under the hood and what is overall a better machine for my purposes above. To the retina screen isn't all that important as I plan on connecting the MBP to a larger external monitory.
Thanks in advance for any help. If anything needs clarification please ask and I will provide more details.Another advantage to the non-Retina MB/Pro with optical drive is the possibility
of upgrade with a kit, to install a second SSD in place of that drive; as per a
part number kit that macsales OWC site has listed. That kind of upgrade does
come up on occasion; however an SSD in that location has a slower data rate
than one on the hard disk drive bus. 'Data Doubler' is their name for it; a kit
could include a suitable SSD, too. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/
About wireless connectivity differences between Retina MB/Pro and non-Retina,
could vary the results if one were to use a newer Time Capsule wireless base
station; as these can use two bandwidths of wi-fi. However I am not sure if one
or both models can utilize this feature when connecting to the base station &
wireless backup function of the time capsule. The faster speed could be a little
helpful if using wireless; yet I'd be sure to make a backup clone and directly
use a wired connection of dependable speed and quality for its use.
So to read up on the newer specs for the Time Capsule with built in wi-fi base
station to see if that matters; I doubt there would be an issue as the newer is
supposed to be compatible with the older.
Hopefully this helps somewhat. I've found an older AirPort base station can
affect the internet speed when the source is higher than the base thoroughput.
This can be an issue, at least with wireless backups or internet access. For
best connection speeds, it also helps to have a wired network, to fall back on.
Ethernet is faster and more reliable as a local & internet network path; and a
wired network is more secure than a wireless one.
If you have a different question, be sure to ask; you could also start a new thread.
Good luck & happy computing! -

Please somebody tells me what to do.....Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the OS X 10.7 or later recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed. -

Help Connecting Older Sony HandyCam to MacBook Pro
I have an older Sony HandyCam which I have not used in years. Trying to connect to iMove 6.0.3 and can not get the camcorder to mount so I can import. Using USB connection since my MacBook Pro does not have firewire. Help?
Hi
What Sony HandyCam do You have ?
Is it a miniDV tape Camera - if so it only can connect via FireWire.
What MacBook Pro - Do You have ? - Never seen one without FireWire - but on later models there are only a FireWire 800 connector.
MacBook Air and some MacBooks don't have any FW-connector - but MB Pro used to have it as far as I know.
If it has a FW800 - connector - then You need a FW 4-pin to FW-800 Cable - the FW400-FW800 adapter is not my favorite solution.

Help needed to troubleshoot why my MacBook Pro repeatedly drops wifi connection
We run Mac & PC laptops, iPhone, iPad on occasion, with ATT DSL, 2Wire 2701HG-B Router. First 6 months of enjoying my Mac, no trouble. Then things started to go south. Been dealing with this problem of dropped internet connection for over a year. Got a new router--the 2Wire 2701, finally got a new phone line put in from the outside to inside. It now seems like the MacBook Pro drops the signal far more than the PC. It seems worse when I'm at my desk, which is only a room away from the router. It can drop the signal about every 3rd or 4th click on the internet. The Networks Diagnostics will show red buttons on the Server and Internet. Been testing other areas of the house, and find it seems better in these other areas, dropping far less. Hard to tell, because the problem comes and goes, like the sun. iPhone has dropped connection on occasion. iPad has occasional slow download of YouTube. Neither of those are troubling.
I tried checking with the Airport Utility, but it tells me it can't find any Airport. I obviously understand very, very little of this. Any help would be appreciated.Which os are you using?
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

Check to see if an extra entry is present in the DNS Tab for your wireless connection (System Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced/DNS).
Delete all extra entries that you find.

Mountain Lion downloaded from App store on 11th and 12th June will not install. Downloaded TWICE it times out after 20 secs into install. Can't get any help!!! Going around in circles!!
My Machine MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8
Processor 2.66Ghz i7,
4GB memory
128GB solid state drive
Purchased 2010Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download
