How to install Lion on Mac with slow internet connection.

My father's Mac mini has a slow internet connection. I always update it by taking the update packages that I download on my iMac to his machine. Will I be able to do that with 10.7 (Lion) when it is purchased/downloaded from the Mac App Store?

It seems that Apple's license terms will allow that across Macs that share the same App Store ID, but I doubt that's the case with you and your father. Physically the update package for Lion could be moved, but the licensing issues will have to be worked out. You're not the only person who's concerned with the issue of how to download a 4 GB file for Lion.

How do I configure my mac to see a windows network HD?

I recently purchased a Mac and want to be able to open files on my NTFS network hard drive.
How do I configure my Mac to see the HD??
I can use some help.
Thanks

On the iMac turn on File Sharing on at System Preferences - Sharing - check the File Sharing box. You will also need to set the Windows machine to allow file sharing. Once you have the connection made you will see the Sharing turned on in Finder. It will look similar to:

How do I get my mac on thie internet?

I have a Preforma 6300CD Power PC, I also have a linksys wireless router, and a netgear 8 port gigabit switch. I have other computers on this network primarily linux and windows pc's. How do I get my mac to connect to the internet over tcp/ip connection? If I need an apple talk server; where can I get one that will run on a windows/linux pc that would share its internet connection with my mac? Im really lost here, and I would really love it if someone could tell me what i need to do, and tell me how to do some file sharing. Im sure once I can figure out how to get this mac on the net I probably wont have a problem with the file sharing.. One more thing I forgot to mention I don't know if it is important or not. My mac is running mac os 8 (do i need to upgrade this opperating system to reach my goal? I can only upgrade to system 9.1, and if that is the case will 9.1 do the job?).

Hi Shrek
You will first need an ethernet Card for your 6300,LC or Comm, you can get them cheap on ebay.
You can use internet configuration assistant should be within 8.0 to get to internet.
Connecting to PC: You can use a Farallon iPrint Ethernet -adapter to connect to Ethernet. You can use MacPCLan software:

I did not connect MAC to XP until now.

Mac shows wireless internet connection, but Safari says "computer isn't connected to the Internet"

Situation:
Computer shows internet connection (full bars), but won't actually connect to the internet and load webpages
Attempted Fixes:
Reset Safari
Quit Safari
Restart the computer
Turn off the computer with router unplugged
Turn off Airport
Swear at the computer
Swear at the internet
Unplug the router and turn the Airport off too
Additional Info:
Second computer (mac) connects to the internet so it's not an internet problem.
Last few days the internet has been slowly dying on the computer (Mac OS X) in question. Meaning that the internet asks me for the router password constantly, which was a new development.
I have seen information about reseting Plists and a few other weird things, but I didn't want to do anything drastic based on someone elses issue. I figured it's best to bring my specific issue to the forum before destroying my Mac by randomly deleting Plists.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Excellent troubleshooting solutions which usually works.
Which os version are you using?
First contact your ISP. You need to confirm that the issue is not on their end.
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.

Power Mac G4 loses internet connection after going to sleep

Run down of computer: I have a Power Mac G4 tower, PANTHER OSX. I have wireless internet through our cable company—I use a wireless router. When I am connected to the internet, and browsing the web or something, if I let the computer go to sleep, it loses connection. I have to go back up to the little signal icon and reconnect to my wireless network.
I suspected it might be a setting through the router, but when my computer was comletely unplugged, and absent from the apartment, the other computer (G5 imac–TIGER) which was having the same problem, suddenly was staying connected even after going to sleep. When my computer came back home and was hooked back up, suddenly the other computer had the same problem again. So, I concluded that my G4 tower was the culprit, and perhaps not the router. We share a wirless network, so it's not surprising that this is the case.
I know there must be a setting somewhere in preferences or something that is telling the computer to disconnect from network when computer sleeps. I have looked everywhere, and can not figure it out.
It's really annoying to have to reconnect each time I use my computer. And just to reiterate, I get internet through a cable modem using my airport card, so please answer the question with this in mind as settings are totally different from dial-up. I do not use PPP.
Anyone experience this problem? Or know how to help?

Tried that too! Notta.
This one's really a pickle! Even the Mac specialist at my office was baffled! He suggested shortening the name of my computer...(Jamie Cendroski's computer)...I didn't really understand how this had anything to do with it...but he's supposed to be the expert. He also suggested trashing my keychains and making new ones. I messed around with them, but I don't know enough about this stuff to be bold enough to trash them yet. I'll do a little more research before I do so. I think he might be onto something with the keychains though..?

2014 mac mini loosing internet connection

Hi, my relatively new mac mini with most current system suddenly started to loose it's internet connection. WiFi or wired makes no difference. It works for a bit then I get time outs, spinning balls and nothing works anymore. All other devices on the same wifi (iphone, ipad, macbook pro, chrom book, windows laptop, apple TV) work just fine, so it's not comcast or a modem issue.
I'm mostly connected with wifi, I moved wifi up in the priority list. I also deleted that particular wifi account and entered everything again, it's a comcast router with wifi built in. Nothing helps. If I run the network diagnostics all things come back with a green light, but even if I try to ping some site via terminal nothing happens. All other devices run great, but I need this compuer on the net. I might take it to the genius bar, but I can't bring my wifi with me, not sure how much that would help.
Any other ideas?
It started sporadically, just a hickup in a video file or a minute to refresh a page, I had comcast test everything too. Now - regardless of what browser I use) I mostly get nothing, if I'm lucky I get a connection for a couple minutes before it's over again. Wifi is connected, I did not change anything or install anything (though some things might have done so automatically) and I know nothing about networking, so I never touched any of those settings, since everything worked anyway.
Any help is greatly appreciated, I can't work without internet on that machine :-(
Thanks!

The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
For 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...

How do I use Mail on a shared internet connection

Hello All;
I've tried searching the forums, and either I'm using the wrong search terms, or this question is so basic no one else is having problems....
My wife and will sometimes be in a hotel that has an ethernet cable for internet access. We both travel with our laptops (sad life, I know...) and use the internet. We usually plug the cable into her MBP and then I set up internet sharing to my iBook. Which works fine, except that Mail can't make a connection and I have to check my email accounts by going to the browser interface for each. I have several, which is why I set Mail up to work with them. Not a big problem, but annoying. Finally, sitting here in Ottawa I decided to do something about it since I'm waiting for it to warm up a bit - its something like -20C this morning.
Is it as simple as turning off the MBP's firewall? Or adjusting it? I don't like playing with the security settings, if I don't have to, for her MBP because it is vital for her work.
We are both using 10.4.11, and as stated above - she has a Mac Book Pro and I'm using a G4 iBook.
Thanks in advance....
Brrrrr - its cold out there.....

Hello Seth.
I believe you must go to System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall on the computer that shares its Internet connection and enable the ports that Mail needs, i.e. click on the New button, choose Other from the Port Name popup menu to name that setting however you wish, and specify the port number(s) there.
Also, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list on each computer.

IPhone using Mac Mini's internet connection sharing, stops loading webpages

Bought an iPhone 1 hour ago.
I'm sharing my internet connection to my iBook and MacBook from my Mac Mini. Works fine.
Can't connect using the iPhone.
It will detect the network, it will show full network reception, but it will only load webpages for the first 10 seconds and then stops.
Tried removing the password, fixing a channel, resetting the iPhone (full reset), the "forget this network" trick, nothing worked.
It will load web pages in the first 10 seconds of detecting my open network. Its highly frustrating...
Any suggestions? Maybe using the restore option from iTunes instead of the reset ones from iPhone? Will this try to reinstall the latest firmware?

Very similar case here -- I bought an iPhone just yesterday, set it up with internet sharing on my Mac Mini, and am getting random (but frequent) failures connecting via wifi. Small web pages can get through sometimes, large (or complex) web pages almost always hang during loading, e-mail pretty much never works.
However, using "edge" works just fine.
I've nosed around these forums a bit (and googled for this problem a bit), and it does seem like there are a number of users having this sort of trouble. However, some folks with this problem have noted that they can run wifi just fine at other hotspots. (I haven't taken my phone to another hotspot yet, maybe I'll try tomorrow...) And I've shared my internet connection to other PCs from my Mini successfully before. So, in my opinion, this problem does not appear to be an actual hardware fault in either the iPhone or the Mac Mini, but rather some disagreement between the settings chosen on both sides; my guess is that this'll take a driver modification in either or both to fix, rather than a replacement of either the iPhone or the Mini.
Just my current guess, though.

How to activate Photoshop CS 5 without an internet connection?

I have had my second activation of Photoshop CS 5 on a backup computer that has no internet connection. I needed to change the operating system (Windows 7 Home to Windows 7 Professional). I called up Adobe, and told the technician that I was de-activating CS 5, reformatting the hard drive, then I was going to re-activate Photoshop. He gave me a case number so that the next technician could easily understand what I was doing and what I needed.
The first time I installed Photoshop on this backup computer, I contacted Customer Service. The technician had me do several things to get to an activation screen. I gave him both the serial number and an installation code. He then used them to generate a unique activation code, which I typed in to activate Photoshop. I had Photoshop on that computer, working, for a year.
I called on August 30, after the re-formatting and installing the new operating system, I called Customer Service to get help re-activating Photoshop.
The first technician said I could not reactivate Photoshop.
The second technician said it could be done, but not at his level and he would escalate the case, and someone would call me.
After no calls, I tried again on 09/05. I was transferred to the manager. He said it could not be done, but he would escalate the case to the "expert team," and that someone from that team would call me "tomorrow" (09/06).
Along the way, one technician said I did not need to reactivate Photoshop because when I called about deactivating Photoshop, that technician assigned a special number that would obviate the need to reactivate. How did my computer, off-line, and my software, on a proprietary disk, know that number? Magic? No, not magic, it just would!
Unless something has changed and I do not have to activate Photoshop on computers that are off-line, I need to activate Photoshop.
How do I get help after 12 days of trying?
Walton

Thank you . . . I do not get an option for Offline Activation. When I did this a year ago, the Customer Support technician gave me a keyboard shortcut that got me to a screen where a response or installation code was generated. Then he gave me the activation code. I have no problem going on-line and entering a installation code and getting an activation code . . . I just cannot get to the screen where I can get the initial code.
Despite having now 3 case numbers related to this, each Customer Support technician starts at the beginning, only to discover 30 minutes to 3 hours later that he/she does not wherewithal to do this and must escalate the case. In the 2 weeks, no one has called me. I wait the appropriate 24 - 48 hours (yes, not counting weekends or holidays), and the next technician starts it all over.

How can i set my ipod up without internet connection? Every-time I put my network in it say "Could not find network".

My I-pod wont connect with the network, so I reset my I-pod to see if that was the problem
and now I cant set my I-pod up because my I-pod cant find the network. I cant download I-tunes
on my laptop because I have to have a password that I don't know.

Try either:
- On a computer that has iTunes and an internet connection
- Go to a different location and try connecting to another wifi network

How to active Acrobat XI Standard w/o internet connection?

Hi there,
we have some users w/o the permission to use our internet connection. A few months ago it was possible to login to the computer with a user id that has internet permissions to activate Acrobat XI until Windows was reinstalled. Since a few weeks Acrobat asks to contact the activation server again and again (every few weeks). How can we stop this?

Hi,
Claudio's Link didn't helped me, but I've found this: Troubleshoot | Can't connect to Adobe.com online service
We are whitelisting https://activate.adobe.com so that everybody can use the online activation.

WRT54GS and MAC OSX "has internet connection, but cannot load page"

Ok, I have skimmed through the threads here and the FAQ and still am having troubles. I amt trying to connect a MacbookPro to this wireless router. I have had it connected before which adds to my frustration. I ran all the system diagnostics and come to a point where it says, "This device has an internet connect but cannot load __________. Make sure you have the address typed in correctly." My MAC picks up the router signal, but in the diagnostics it goes as follows. AirPort - Yes Airport Settings - Yes Network Settings - Yes ISP - Yes Internet - No Server - No Please, any help is very appreciated.

Also tried the factory reset and starting from scratch and nothing...
