How to recover from network port configuration deletion (airport)

a couple of years ago, i accidently deleted the network port configuration for AirPort in the Show pop-up menu. No big deal, i thought at the time. I don't have an AirPort card and I won't be using AirPort in this computer. Ok, I now have an old-style AirPort card (powerbook G3 firewire, 10.2.8) and the AirPort utility doesn't see that it's installed. I realized right away, the network doesn't have a port... so the system doesn't see it, right? So, how do I get this port back? Do I have to reload a new System entirely and not save previous network settings... or is there an easier way to recover from my blunder?

Thanks Rob,
Glad to be here. Yeah, 10.2 works the same as 10.4. The problem with what you suggest is that I can no longer get airport as an option in Network port configs... so when I go to the new button all the other options are there EXCEPT AirPort. This is what I need to restore. I haven't checked, but I'm assuming I've nuked the pref panel out of the master library. So, I've messed up big time. I was looking for a way to recover that didn't involve reloading the whole system. This isn't like OS 9 and older where you can go and pick a little piece and stick it back into your system folder... I think. Thanks for the reply.

How can I change network port configuration default setting?

Hello,
I am having trouble connecting to the internet. When I try to connect, it dials, rings, and then has a long tone, then disconnects. Preferences>Network>Assist Me>Diagnostics>Location>Network Port has Built in Ethernet chosen. I unchoose it, choose Internal Modem. It goes on to try to connect, than asks me if I have DSL or Cable (I don't) I choose no, asks me if there is anything else to restart, no, I choose. It then says to check configuration. I go back till the location page then continue, continue, then it connects. It won't stay selected to Internal Modem. I have checked its box and dragged it to the top (and unchecked and dragged Ethernet to the bottom). This happens 90% of the time but not always. I can connect to the internet, but have to go through this. I don't have Built in Ethernet.
Thanks,
Maria

Open Network preferences. Select Internal Modem from the list and click on the Configure button. Click on the PPP tab. Fill in the required information for your dial up ISP including your username and password (for your dial up account.) Check the box to save your password. Click on the Apply button. Click on the TCP/IP tab and select DHCP from the Configure IPv4 drop down menu, click on the Apply button. Click on the Modem tab and select the modem from the drop down menu that corresponds to the one you are using or have installed internally in your computer. Click on the Apply button. Quit Network preferences. This should have you all set. Use Internet Connect to initiate the dial up.

Duplicating AirPort Network Port Configuration/IP Aliasing with AirPort

I'm attempting to set up my Apache server to serve test websites with my network (I'll be serving by IP, and firewalled from the wide world of the web (namely, my eyes only websites (so they can be tested on windows browsers (alas, the majority of my viewership)))). Im fairly confident I can set up the Virtual Hosts (watch this space, that my be my next problem). However, I'd like to set up my computer to have more than one IP address. Im running Panther (10.3.9). Im connected wirelessly to my network. I have tried the recommended: go to 'Network Port Configurations' and click 'Duplicate'. However, the Duplicate button is inactive for my AirPort card. How can I duplicate it so I can IP Alias my mac?

I don't mean to question your decision, but why do you need to have more then one IP address?
With virtual hosts, you can redirect to a countless number folders (virtual sites) with your computer only having one IP address.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site1.yourwebsite.net
DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents/sites/site1.yourwebsite.net
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site2.yourwebsite.net
DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents/sites/site2.yourwebsite.net
</VirtualHost>
Of course you should use be using a dynamic DNS service. I use http://dyndns.org. They offer free service and also a great custom DNS service.
For testing purposes you can change you local hosts settings via Netinfo Manager. For example you can set site1.local and site2.local to point to 127.0.0.1 and then your site will be private and work like you had hundreds of IP addresses.

A VLAN doesn't really distinguish between ports. A switch does, though, "remember" (for some time) the source MAC as frames enter its ports.
Tagged frames may contain more than VLAN ID, such as L2 CoS.

How to recover from disapled ipad

how to recover from locked ipad after wrong passwored trile

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

How to recover from a bad upgrade due to a blackout, stuck in the recovery itunes screen on the iphone

how to recover from a bad upgrade, due to a blackout. stuck in the recovery itunes screen on the iphone

Bjpolinda,
Do you have a recent iCloud or iTunes backup? If so, just plug your phone into iTunes, restore the phone and bring your backup back by following the prompts on the phone.
If you didn't back up your phone before attempting to update, you may have lost all your photos and other data on your phone. If you restore the phone through iTunes, it will most definitely wipe your phone of all data and reset it to factory settings.

Can't Delete Network Port Configurations

In the "Network" preference in System Preferences I have found a few new Port Configurations that should not be there. When I go to delete them the application just asks me to confirm (which I do) and then does nothing, they are still there. The Port Configurations are titled "BlueetoothDUN" (I also have a normal "Bluetooth" Port Configuration which I do not want to delete), "Ethernet Adaptor (en2)", and "Ethernet Adaptor (en3)" (I also have one called Built-in Ethernet which I do not want to remove). How do I remove these useless Port Configurations?
Thanks in Advance

Oops, should've been...

Hmmm, when you tried to delete them before, where you logged in as an Admin user?
I'm thinking these might be System settings instead of User settings.
Wolfdude96, Not sure this will help, but try trashing...

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration... the whole SysConfig folder.

Reboot... of course you dont have to trash them, you can just move them to the desktop to drag back if it doesn't work.

How to recover from deletion of JSF Run-Time Support Library

While using the library manager to add a new library, we accidentally deleted the JSF Run-Time Support library. This was a big mistake as nothing works after doing this. Is there any way to recover from this gracefully and manually reconfigure this library back into the library manager? We have experimented with it on another system and found that we have to completely delete the user's preferences and then re-install JSC2 thus losing all the developer's environment which is quite a loss. We are sure it will happen again but we would like to find a more graceful recovery solution. This is a Windows environment.

You can recreate the library definition, but doing it using the library manager tool is not possible.
Close Creator. Inside your Creator user directory, create a file "jsfsupport-runtime.xml" in the directory
.Creator\2_0\config\org-netbeans-api-project-libraries\Libraries
Add the following content to the new file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE library PUBLIC "-//NetBeans//DTD Library Declaration 1.0//EN" "http://www.netbeans.org/dtds/library-declaration-1_0.dtd">
<library version="1.0">
    <name>jsfsupport-runtime</name>
    <type>j2se</type>
    <localizing-bundle>com.sun.rave.api.jsf.project.libraries.Bundle</localizing-bundle>
    <volume>
        <type>classpath</type>

        <resource>jar:nbinst:///modules/ext/appbase.jar!/</resource>
    </volume>
</library>Restart Creator. Note however that if you delete your .Creator directory, you will loose the library definition.

How to recover notes that have been deleted

I Have deleted my notes by mistake and I'd like to know how to recover them without connecting to a computer

If you are using Notes with iCloud, (if you use iCllud mail) and you have deleted them, they are gone. Once you delete them from one device, they are gone from everywhere. So if you delete them from the iPad, they are gone from iCloud, your iPhone and your computer. If you were using Notes from a third party and backing up with iTunes, you couldn't recover them without restoring the backup from iTunes.

How to recover itunes store backup after deleted.

by mistake i was deleted my itunes backup how to recover them?

Hello Fah Ad,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to recover restore a deleted backup you made of your phone from your iTunes library.
If you are using a Mac and use Time Machine, you can restore the file by going to the location where the folder that normally holds the file here:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
From: iTunes: About iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
Then use the Restoring data from Time Machine backups section of this article to restore your backup file.
Mac Basics: Time Machine
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are using Windows, here are the file locations for the backups you can use with your backup software to restore them:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.
Take care,
Sterling
