Help with proxies on Mac OS X 10.5.8, please.

I am wirelessly connected to my home network through airport. I need to use a proxy on my mac but when I go to proxies section under network I can't select a protocal to configure, click secure web server, and can't change any settings because it simply will not let me. My "bypass proxy settings for these hosts and domains:" field is "*.local, 169/254/16". So what I need to know is how to be able to change my information for accessing the internet under proxies in network. Thanks in advance.

I need to use a proxy on my mac
For what?
My "bypass proxy settings for these hosts and domains:" field is "*.local, 169/254/16".
That is normal.
So what I need to know is how to be able to change my information for accessing the internet under proxies in network.
From what to what, for what purpose?

  • Please help with opening old mac AE file on a pc

    Hi,
    With the latest version of AE on a pc I tried opening older mac version .aep file created I believe in 1999. I had very little hope so I wasn't surprised to see this message:
    "After Effects error: this file was created with an older version of After Effects [3.0 (Macintosh PPC)], and can’t be opened. You can convert this file using an older version of After Effect and resaving."
    It is not clear which version should be used, Pc or Mac, and if at the end that file could eventually be opened in thet latest AE on a pc.
    I will greatly appreciate any help with this.

    Thanks Mylenium
    Rebuilding is not an option. It is a lot of work and I need this as a portfolio item. I created a promotional interactive CD with Macromedia Director in 1999 for a sign company. I created 19 short animations for it with After Effects 3 using old PPC Mac.  I haven't used After effects since then but recently several new clients asked me if I can make animations from that nature. So, I'm trying to use my old work as a demonstration of my creative skills.  The problem is that the animations were rendered tiny with 309 x 228 pixels to fit in the interactive interface of the presentation intended for the small monitors used at that time. I took the animations from the interactive CD  and using the latest AE on a pc, I created a rough composition with running the animations one after another. To make the animations a bit larger I scaled most of them to 320 x 240 hoping it will look better.
    In my archives I have the project files and all .ai vector graphics used for the animations. I still have the old PPC Mac retired somewhere in the closets and installer CD with After Effects 3 and 4. I thought it would be great if I can somehow open the files in the latest version on a pc but if not I guess I have to take out that old mac are render to higher resolution using this ancient machine and AE version. And I'm wondering if all this is worth it.
    I will appreciate any tips, advices, things to be aware, etc, and how to make this looks better on YouTube.
    Oh, and another question by the way, I haven't been current to the animation software for a long time and wonder if this kind of presentational animations are best suited for creating with Flash or After Effects is still OK?

  • Can you help with a TV / Mac mini configuration?

    So.... the plan is to buy a new 32-40 inch TV for the bedroom upstairs. All of my TV cables and Internet stuff are at the basement. I am not planning to bring any cables upstairs (TV or Ethernet) so this is what I am thinking:
    - HDTV 32-40 inch
    - Powerline to bring network connectivity upstairs
    - Slingbox PRO-HD
    - Mac mini to use SlingPlayer, Hulu, iTunes, DVD Player etc. etc.
    - One of those Air Mice
    These are the questions I have:
    1) The HDMI on the new Mac mini transfers sound as well as video. Correct? No need for extra adaptor?
    2) Can some suggest a good Air Mouse that works well with the new Mac mini?
    3) Anything I need to make sure the TV is capable in order to work well with the Mac mini (except of course for the HDMI port)? Resolution? Other ports? Options?
    4) Anyone with a similar configuration? Any issues that you might see with this configuration?
    Thanks

    I cannot answer any of your other questions, but, yes, the Mid 2010 Mac mini carries both a digital audio and video signal from the HDMI port.
    Sorry, what is an air mouse?

  • Help with a new Mac user

    Hi,
    New to MAC. Is there a way to do a restore to out of box set up? I also need to find a local group to go to to help learn about the Mac G4. Want to learn more about how to use the software. It is 9.2 os.

    derftl, welcome to Apple Discussions & the Mac community.
    You can download a PDF copy of your Mac's user manual at this link.

    I doubt that you will find an OS 9 manual in any computer store. You might find a copy by doing a Google web search, or possibly in a used book store. Also, suggest you join LEM-Swap for buying & selling Mac stuff. http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap

  • HT3096 Someone please help, I'm a broke a$$ college student who needs help with a power Mac G5

    Im considering buying a power mac G5 but only cuz its all i can afford and i got an idea about hooking ut up to my tv but i would want to be able to use a wireless keyboard and traction pad but i did some reserch online and found out i need a airport extreme with 2.0  EDR to enable bluetooth which is a requirement for the wireless keyboard. Where can I find the AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card? There dosent seem to be any place online that sells it and lets say I do install the airport extreme card and enable wifi on a power Mac G5, will I be able to use a apple wireless keyboard with it? And just a side question, for the age of the computer what OS should I have installed, I'm not to femilliar with apple software, the only apple products I have are old iPods n a 4s. Oh and I would mainly use it for going online, a little bit of vid editing, watching YouTube vids, homework and uploading and listing to music, I would love to wirelessly sync my iPhone to the power Mac wirelessly.

  • Help with usb Midi controller on brand new machine! Please!!

    I just unboxed my macbook pro 13" non-retina and updated to 10.9.1, installed a few of my apps, etc.    I'm having a meltdown over my midi-controller not being recognized. It is a Roland A-49 USB Midi Keyboard controller that is not powering on. It runs off bus power just fine in my older 15" MBP and also from my '12 Mac Mini. When I pull up the system profiler, under USB it reads to me:
    How can I get this working properly?

    Hi there, been a viewer of the discussions here for a while & felt compelled to finally sign up to hopefully offer some help with this problem as I had exactly the same when I first got Logic Pro.
    The problem is more to do with the sound setup than the controller keyboard as logic is sensing midi data as you have seen in the transport.
    I would suggest firstly (Hopefully Pro & Express are the same in these respects) clicking on the Logic Express tab in the top left, then Preferences, then Audio.
    In the box that appears select the Drivers tab. Then make sure that the Core Audio check box is ticked. Under that make sure that you output source is selected (ie your interface if using monitors, or built in Audio if not)
    Hopefully this should help.
    The simplest to test your sound is by clicking on the Audio tab (3rd or 4th along at top) & opening the Loop Browser, choosing a catagory & draging a sound onto a track.
    Remember to click on the track you will be dragging onto to select it & in the Loop Browser Blue loops go onto audio tracks & green onto instrument tracks.
    Now with testing the controler keyboard...
    Click on an instrument channel, then goto the bottom left of the screen where you will see that channels fader.
    Above the fader click on the I/O (you may have to click & hold here) choose either mono or stereo, then choose say the EXS24 & try you keyboard.
    Hit * on the numeric keypad & play something, then hit space to stop & you will have your 1st region.
    I hope this helps with you problem, Logic can be confusing at times but is worth sticking with.
    Good luck

  • Need HELP with my Lenovo Thinkcentre 8808-94u... Please!

    Hi all,
      New to the forum. I have a lenovo thinkcentre 8808-94u. I use it soley for my hobby cnc. I have lots of time comsuming files on this computer that I didnt back up. (stupid I know).. Anyway, I moved and didnt set it back up for about 4 months. Its been indoors for about a little over a month but the other 3 months it was in the back of my tahoe. Before then I had no trouble at all with the computer. I bought it refurbished and used it everyday but never connected it to the internet as it was soley for my hobby cnc. Anyway, I plugged it up and connected the monitor back and it would not detect the same monitor that I've used with this compter since i've owned it. I hooked up the monitor to my laptop with the same cord and it worked. I also noticed that all the fans came on right away and never went off until I powered it off. I have no idea what is wrong with it. I did change the battery on the motherboard (CMOS Battery??). It didnt change anything. Also, The cd drive still opens as normal it seems. Just can't see anything on the screen except "No connection, Check signal cable". Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    What you seem to be describing is a machine that doesnt even boot to bios, otherwise you would at least see the lenovo/IBM logo on a working monitor.  This could be a bad graphics, but could be memory too.  Id re-seat just 1 stick of memory (make sure you use the correct dimm slot-- should be labeled "DIMM 1 or DIMM 0") and check if it turns on, then use another one and repeat-- If 1 stick is bad, the system may not boot.
    The other thing that comes to mind is the capacitors on the motherboard (Ive seen this issue with 2 SFF M55s just like yours), though usually the machine still boots and just crashed later.  What to look for when you open up the machine is capacitors that are leaking or have the tops bulging like this.  If this is the case, your motherboard is essentially gone, might as well toss the machine for the price to re-cap is higher than the price to buy a newer M57 SFF.

  • Help with purchasing new Mac Book Pro- 2014 release vs. 2013?

    OK, so my 15" 2008 Mac Book Pro is on its last gasp--didn't help when I dropped it while open (I can now see into its innards though it's still working...sort of).
    I'm not a technophile (mainly use my laptop for writing--my profession--and eBay business) so my sister told me to make sure that I had at least 8 GB and a fast processing speed. Retina display not necessary (her graphic artists friends hate it apparently) so that would lower the price; however it seems that there are two releases: Oct 2013 and July 2014.  Read up on the latest release but not sure how much is necessary for to have...or care about.
    Can you all weigh in and tell me (a) how important it is to have "the latest and greatest" and (b) how necessary is Retina display and (c) which would YOU purchase if you had my budget constraints.  Thanks!
    Anyway, I've narrowed down my choices of MacBook Pro purchases to what was within my budget: $1300 including tax.  I wanted a 15" but it was too much $$$$, plus I can just use an external monitor.
    Both are available at Apple. Both come with 1 year and 3-year extended warranties and both have the standard software installed, including Pages.
    One more thing....Wondering if having Flash Storage is important?  Only refurbished one (see below) has it.
    Prices for both end up being almost the same--around $1250 out the door, including tax.
    OPTION #1  NEW LAPTOP. July 2014 Release   NON RETINA DISPLAY
    2.5GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
    4GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM — 2x2GB - NOTE: I WOULD HAVE THIS UPGRADED TO 8 MG
    500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
    SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
    Backlit Keyboard (English) & User's Guide
    Accessory Kit
    OPTION #2   REFURBISHED  -Oct. 14 Release - RETINA DISPLAY
    13.3-inch (diagonal) Retina display; 2560-by-1600 resolution at 227 pixels per inch
    8GB of 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
    256GB Flash Storage1
    720p FaceTime HD camera
    Intel Iris Graphics

    Hmm... I'm not really sure where you found a July 2014 release without a retina display. I think it might be the old version because that laptop was last updated in 2012 (to my understanding. Also, your sister is kind of wrong, if you want a computer that will work well for everyday things, 4gb of ram is just fine. I have a three year old MacBook Air with 4gb of ram and do things in Photoshop, Illustrator, Pixelmator, FCP, etc. all the time running OS X Yosemite and it runs like brand new. However, if you want to future proof it, you might want 8gb so it can always run the latest OSes.
    Flash Storage is amazingly fast compared to a Hard Drive. It also has no moving parts, therefore is much more durable, and much more likely to survive a drop than a Hard Drive (which would seem to be useful in your situation).
    Also, I don't know why your sister's friends would hate the Retina display. Many people love it because it gives them the ability to edit pixel by pixel with perfect accuracy.
    I would go for the Retina display. It has better specs for the same price so why not? Not to mention that it's much faster and will likely receive updates much longer than the new MacBook Pro without Retina display.
    I hope I helped.

  • Need help with a dead Mac Air

    So taking a long shot here. I was on my friends Macbook Air last night and it will not start at all. The Mac starts but doesnt go past the apple icon and a spinning gear icon like something is happening in the backround. Have kept it on for hours nothing happens.
    Have tried all possible combinations of booting it like SMC reset, Boot in Safe Mode but nothing seems to work.
    Is there any way to boot it from a USB or something?
    Unfortunately since it wont start i cannot post the exact configuration.
    Any sort of help will be appreciated.
    Also if there is a way to restore it will be great..

    If you have a boot drive on an external HDD with a compatible OS  you may be able to start the MBA.
    I do think that the best option is to take the MBA to a repair facility for a diagnosis and repair.
    Ciao.

  • Where can I get help with Office for Mac

    Hi everyone,
    I use Microsoft Office for Windows at work, and often go to one of the groups at msnews.microsoft.com to ask questions and get help. I would like to be able to check from home to see if anyone has answered my questions, but I can't figure out how to access this from my Mac. Do I need special software for this? At work I use Outlook Express. What should I use from my Mac?
    Thank you,
    Rob

    Many of those groups can also be accessed on the web with any web browser via http://groups.google.com/
    There are several NNTP news readers like Newswatcher and MT Newswatcher on http://www.versiontracker.com/ and http://www.macupdate.com/ which tie into that newsgroup protocol if your internet service provider supports it.

  • NEED HELP WITH MICROSOFT office/Mac/hacking.

    NEED HELP: We installed Parrallels, then Windows 8.1 and go to install Office 365 and the computer won't accept it.  We call Microsoft and they tell us our system has been hacked at the time we installed Windows 8.1.  HELP!!!!! I have got to get may computer fix NOW>>>> I have a bid due in 2 hours and can't get office on my computer and now have a hacked computer..........NOT HAPPY WITH MICROSOFT.  Please can someone help

    Only Microsoft can help you get a Microsoft product working. But if what you need is software than can do most of what the various modules of MS Office can do, check out LibreOffice, which is an MS Office compatible Office suite, can run directly on the Mac (no Windows necessary), and is free. Just be sure that if the bid will be an Office document which you'll send to someone else, that you save the document in an MS Office-compatible format so they can open and read it.

  • Help with locating my Mac with find my iPhone

    My Mac was stolen and I uploaded find my iPhone to my phone. It has not located my computer yet and I am concerned that since I had to reset my password for icloud which obviously was not reset on my stolen computer, that find my Mac will not be able to locate it due to the resetting. Is this correct? Please help

    I called Apple support.  The good thing is they took my call and didn't charge me an applecare Pay-per-incident phone support.
    Their suggestion is to reinstall Mountain Lion, original version.
    I do that by:
    Restart the mac with option key pressed down to get to  "Start up manager"
    In "Start up Manager" I am to Choose recovery HD
    Under Recovery HD I am to choose the option to reinstall OS to install 10.8
    He said it will take a good hour to reinstall, so I'll try tonight.
    His guess is that when I originally downloaded Mountain Lion that a kernal was missing -- one that drives the mini port. If that's the case, Reinstalling the OS will fix the problem.
    If that doesn't work, he is sending me to a mac store where they can boot my mac with an external drive -- and then they can check the hardware - the mini-port - to see if the problem is my mini-port or Mountain Lion.

  • I need help with information on Mac Book Air

    I'm planning to buy the mac book air. I just have a few question i was wondering if people could help me out. Right now i have a sony vaio laptop i hate it to death, but thats beside the point. My question is can the mac book air use a window's mobile cellphone as a air card, because with the sony all i had to do is dl some special files and i could use the cellphone as a air card. I was wondering if this laptop can do the exact same thing???

    You will need to provide information on your cell phone and service provider, but the best source would be your service provider since it would depend on what was required to access their service using a cell phone as a modem. Without more information I would guess you can because if you could on your Sony you should be able to use it on any computer provided you had the appropriate cable (usually a USB cable that connects to the phone.)
