HT202617 USB to Ethernet Unable to connect

I just got the USB to Ethernet adapter and I thought It was a simple Plug-n-Play thing. I was wrong. I am unable to connect to the internet. Any pointers?

According to reports, the USB-to-Ethernet adapter doesn't work on Macs that have a Thunderbolt port, which yours does. You would need the Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter.

IPhone USB/BT/Wifi Unable to Connect after iTunes 10.7 Update

If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!
Background:
I received and installed the iTunes 10.7 (21) last night. This morning, my MBP would not connect to my I phone via Wifi/USB/BT. I did some digging and apparently this is an issue with this iTunes update. I have subsequently removed iT 10.7 and reinstalled iT 10.6.3 and successfully retrieved the archive library. That all seems to be working well.
By way of trouble shooting the iPhone 4, I've been able to establish link to the Wifi and USB with my work Windows laptop, and wifi with my iPad 3 MacBook, so I'm reasonably certain that it is working correctly.
Hardware:
MacBook Pro:13/i5; OS 10.6.8 with all updates.
iPhone 4: iOS 5.1.1
I really don't want to update OS/iOS at this time for a number of reasons... like I really use the maps and would like to wait until that issue is fixed for iOS6.
So, what have I missed? What tweak did the 10.7 update do that I can undo?
I'm sickeningly dependent upon my iPhone/hotspot and this is most distressing!
Anyone know how to correct this?
Best regards,
John

iPhone4 connects with the cable, I can sync, update, etc... just no wifi/BT/USB data...

Unable to connect to USB shared printer

I hope someone will be able to help with this. I recently had to change my home network setup, and now I can't wirelessly connect to the USB printer shared through my PowerMac G4. Previously, I had AT&T DSL coming in through a Westell modem, with the line out going to the WAN port of the Airport Extreme base station. I then connected the LAN port on the base station to the uplink port on a Linksys switch, to which were connected the iMac G5 and the PowerMac G4. I had a Samsung laser printer connected to the USB port on the base station and an old Epson Stylus Color 740i connected to the G4 with USB printer sharing turned on in System Prefs. Everything worked fine - I could print to either printer from any computer, including wirelessly through my MacBook.
Unfortunately, I have been experiencing slow speeds with my DSL, so one of the steps an AT&T tech took was to replace my Westell modem with a new AT&T 2Wire, which also serves as a router (or switch, I'm not sure which one). Now I don't have the Linksys switch, as it's not needed. The iMac G5 and the G4 are connected directly to the modem through ethernet, and another ethernet port is connected to the WAN port on the Airport base station. There is no connection to the LAN port on the base station. The two printers are connected in the manner I described above. I can print to either printer from the iMac and the G4, but from my MacBook I can only connect to the Samsung that is plugged into the base station. Although printer sharing is still turned on in the G4, I don't see the Epson printer listed anywhere when I try to add a printer on the MacBook. Also, I used to be able to browse the local network to connect to my other computers from the MacBook, but now they don't show up in the browse window. I can connect to them if I put in the computer's IP address, which is now in a different format (192.xxx.x.xx) rather than 10.0.x.x like it used to be. I only mention these last two points because they might be related to why I can't connect to the printer.
Sorry this is so long and complicated, but if anyone has more networking experience than I do, please help. Thanks!

Just bought an HP c310a printer with wireless capability. When I install it on the wireless network it say I need to input a MAC address. I don't think that is necessary, but I can't bypass it. Any suggestions?
Your printer is requesting a mac address?
Is that before or after the printer showed you the available ssid's while running the wireless setup.
Did you run the wireless network test on the printer? and if so did it report any errors?
Which wireless setup are you running?
This may help

I am unable to connect my imac to the internet. I tried to connect direct to the ETHERNET, and I am having ip address assigned problem on ethernet and also on my airport extreme, it said no internet connection or no DNS server. Please help . My internet provider is brighthouse and I just have a technician guy come to check it out and they can't fix it either. I have other laptop and I connect the ethernet directly and it work for my other laptop so I know it is not the internet provider problem, but my IMAC doesn't work. I hope I don't have to do a full recovery on my imac as I have a lot of info need to backup and I hope someone can help beside doing the full recovery.

Backup everything. Note that a bootable backup/clone is optimum. Then, reinstall the unnamed OS.

Unable to connect Brother printer to Airport Extreme using USB

Hi, I recently bought a Brother HL-2270DW printer, which has 802.11 b/g wireless capabilities. My airport extreme (2008 model) is set to 802.11 n (5 ghz), so I can't set-up the printer wirelessly to the airport extreme without changing to 802.11 b/g. Instead I'm fine hooking up the printer to the airport extreme using a USB. When I first turn on the printer, I can print from my Macbook, but after a few minutes, the printer goes offline and has to be turned off/on. When I try to Open Printer Utility, there is a connection error. I have the right driver installed, and I can print fine for a few minutes after turning on the printer, and all the time when the printer is connected to the Macbook directly using the USB. I would like to use the printer by connecting it to the airport extreme using the USB or Ethernet. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks,

Please explain exactly what you're experiencing that leads you to claim that.
The current firmware of the TiVo Premier is easily confused about whether it's connected to the Internet or not. In my experience, a TiVo unit will quickly regain its senses and decide that it really is connected.

I have 3 Dell laptops at home and I am unable to connect my iPad 1 to any of them using the USB cable. If I connect the iPad to any Apple computer using the same USB cable, it works perfectly. I have installed the latest versions of iTunes and iOS, but still no luck. Apple Store Geniuses helped me determine that it wasn't my iPad causing the problem, but were less helpful when it came to dealing with non-Apple devices.
Options?

Does the OS see the iPad at all? In other words does it show up in either the My Computer or Device Manager?
I've had problems in the past where I had to modify the registry to get my son's iPod to sync with a particular HP laptop.
If it doesn't show up at all have your tried using an external hub (with or without power)?

MacBook AIr usb ethernet slow when connected to second switch

Hi,
We have MacBook Airs with 100 Mbps Apple USB ethernet adapters.
We have managed Cisco switches for the LAN.
We experience fast speeds when a USB etherenet/MacBook Air is connected directly to the switch.
However... if we introduce a second switch between the MacBook AIr and the main Cisco switch we experience horiffic slowdowns for some (not all) network activity.
For example, we have IP phones with ethernet passthrough. They work great with iMacs and Thunderbok Macbook Airs. However, if we connect a MacBook AIr/etherenet adpater to the ethernet phone, we expereience a horrific slowdown when using Apple Remote Desktop Manage > Copy items... (and also on connectoins to an in-house database). It's probably 15 - 20x slower than when connected directly to the Cisco switch. Other network operatoins work at expected speeds an the Air.
It's not just connecting to IP phnones that causes this problem. If I use a Netgear 1000/100 switch on the desktop, set up as
MacBok Air USB ethernet > Netgear > Cisco
we have the same horrible slowdown for some network operations.
I purchased a 3rd party USB adpater, but had the same results.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue, please? Is there a setting onn teh CISCO switch that is causing the problem? Any know problmes with USB etherenet on MacBook air.
Many thanks,
b.

Is this a question? A complaint? Nothing any of us can do about that, and this is a well-documented and well-known issue.
It doesn't effect most MBA users who most likely use wireless for most of their transactions, and the times you need to use ethernet, you are right, it will run slower.
Just curious I have a pretty fast 5N wifi network. If I'm setting up a new MB Air from another laptop is it going to be faster through the ethernet adapter or the wifi network?

Ethernet proxy unable to connect after sleep

Late 08' Macbook Pro. OSX Lion.
I live at university so I have to connect to the internet through an ethernet cable and a proxy. Usually all I need to do is open my broswer, it will ask me to type in my username and password then I'll be all set.
Ever since yesterday however, I am starting to have trouble connecting to the internet. I left my computer on sleep the night before (at the login screen, immediately after a restart). Yesterday morning when I tried to get on the internet, all I get is a time out connection error. After restarting my computer numerous times and ran the network dianogstic, nothing seems to work. Eventually it just fixed itself after a while.
After restarting my computer today, I found myself unable to connect to the internet. I have tried everything again, restarting my computer a dozen of times. But I still can't get a connection. I can't even connect to the local network.
I am 100% it has nothing to do with my university network, because I booted my MBP with Windows on Bootcamp and my internet worked perfectly. I have never had a problem like this when I was on Leopard/Snow Leopard. I read there is a lot of Wi-fi connectivity issue since Lion upgrade, maybe this is the same problem?
Is this a known issue? Is there a way to fix it?
(ps. I am currently on my iPhone 3G hotspot. It's working perfectly.)

I have found part of the problem. Everytime Lion wakes up from sleep, it screws up the address for the DNS server. I figured I had to delete all my network locations and add them back in which forces the OS to renew the DNS server address. It doesn't work everytime, but if I do it a few times it eventually works.

What is the difference between connecting a printer via USB or Ethernet ?

What is the difference between connecting a printer via USB or Ethernet ?

When a Printer with an Ethernet connector is connected via Ethernet, it becomes a peer device on your Network. It is available whenever it is on for all users on your Network.
When connected via USB, it relies on your computer to "Share" it onto the local Network. It is only available when the attached computer is on. It takes resources from that computer to facilitate printing for any User.

Nokia 3230 unable to connect to internet via USB c...

when i use CA-53 cable to connect to internet using nokia pc suite7.0.8.2 (one touch access) an error message pops up "unable to connect to the speified device make sure the modem is configured properly" but i can easily connect to internet via bluetooth other functions like file manager , contacts , messages and back up can be accessed by using the CA-53 cable

I called a vw dealership (in South Australia) today because I have an iphone5 and a Tiguan and experienced the same thing (after i had purchased the lightening/30pin adapter).
I was advised that the media interface software is not compatible with iphone5. VW will eventually update the software according to ol'mate at the dealership, but it will be at an expense to the consumer allegedly.
I know that there is a iphone/vw media cable one can purchase from VW however, I believe this to only work with iphone4 or older?
Maybe try an older generation ipod to use for the car if all ur music is in itunes?
if anyone can correct me, I'd be more than happy to know... going to try my older generation ipad and see if there is any truth to the tale.... eventually. Until then i'll stream via bluetooth :-)

Unable to connect to WiFi on 10.6.8

I just moved to a new apartment and have thus far been unable to connect to the WiFi here.
After browsing these forms and Google and trying a good number of solutions that worked for others I'm left at a loss. I running a MacBook Pro 15" with OSX 10.6.8 SL and attempting to connect througn WiFi to a Netgear WPN824v3 with no success.
I am able to see the SSID in my Airport dropdown and it recognizes that it is secured with WPA however, when I enter the correct password it states: "Connection Failed" If I enter the wrong password it states: "Invalid Password"
I have tried restarting multiple times. I shutdown and rebooted manually,
Rebooted the router,
Deleted:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
preferences.plist
Reset my NVRAM,
Changed the routers mode from 108Mb to G&B only as well as changing the channel to both 1 then 11, (its currently back on 108Mb mode and channel 6)
Installed all software updates as of 03/21/13.
I also tried repairing disk permissions.
I'm currently at a loss and can only connect through ethernet here at my apartment while my roommates (and my phone) can access through the wifi. (I have no issue connecting to other Wifi connections, coffee shops etc.) Any help you guys could provide would be awesome.
Thanks in advance.
Josh

Also, please note that I attempted connecting with a USB Wifi adapter (Alfa AWUS036h) and it works completly fine. This, and please correct me if im incorrect, narrows it down to an Airport issue.
Also, I forgot to mention that I attempted the "Assist Me" function as well but to no avail.
