I just noticed that my ethernet port stopped working.

I looked, and it seems to be a bit damaged. I also noticed that the power supply chord tends to come loose. How much do you think it will cost to have this fixed at the Apple Store? Will it be worth it?

To fix the power cord, you will need to buy a new power adapter, or try to bend the external ring on the plug back into shape.
To fix the ethernet port, you will need to have a new logic board fitted. This will cost hundreds of dollars. If the ethernet port as is works currently, I would leave to live with it.

Ethernet port stops working on location change

I seem to have a problem with my ethernet port not working after a specific location change...
I have three locations I used frequently. Let's call them:
1) HomeWireless
2) WorkWireless (used when I'm in meetings)
3) WorkEthernet (used when I'm at my desk)
My general practice is to change locations just before putting my MacBook Pro to sleep, and then it is happily ready for the desired network when it is awoken.
I'm not sure what this change in behavior coincided with, but as of ~1 month ago, I am finding that going from WorkWireless to WorkEthernet, my ethernet port appears to be completely dead and I have to reboot the computer to reactivate it (yes, I've checked the cable itself and the wall port at they're OK). I've tried a couple ways of disabling & re-enabling it in software, but I don't get the impression anything actually resets this interface - suggestions are welcome as perhaps I just didn't try the right thing. I couldn't find anything quite the same as "networksetup -setairportpower" for the ethernet port.
Oddly, this is not an issue with going from HomeWireless to WorkEthernet. Both HomeWirelss and WorkWireless have the ethernet interface deactivated in the Network pref pane, and perhaps the only notable difference between HomeWirelss and WorkWireless is that I use a static IP on the former and dynamic on the latter.
Does anyone have an idea why this could be happening, or have any suggestions for something to check (e.g. some difference to look for between HomeWireless and WorkWireless that might hint at the issue), or at the very least a means of resstarting the ethernet port without rebooting.
Thanks for any help,
-Gene

I'm still experiencing this issue. Anyone else? Any help on either understanding/fixing the underlying issue, or with resetting the Ethernet port to deal with it?

Use of ethernet port stopped working

I use my Airport Express to connect to my existing wireless network (an Airport Extreme Base Station).
For over a year I've been using the ethernet port on the express to connect to my Playstation 2 so I can play video games over the internet and it's worked great.
Mysteriously, it recently stopped working. When I go into base station options (in the Airport Admin) it says "ethernet port always disabled when connected to existing wireless network."
I don't know if it said that before when it used to work, but I'm wondering if something changed.
I recently read through the forum and saw all the problems with the recent firmware upgrade and I seem to have successfully downgraded to 6.1.1 but the problem persists.
Does anyone have any ideas?
btw, I tried hooking my laptop to the Airport Express ethernet connection to make sure it wasn't the PS2 that was the problem. But that didn't work either.
Please help!!
Thanks,
Brad

When I try to open PSE8, I get a notice that PSE 8 has stopped working.

I use Windows 7 as an operating system, and PSE 8 has worked fine up to now. When I try to open PSE8, I get a notice that the storage in photoshop.com is full, and I have to gewt more storage. I went in to photoshop.com and cleared all stored photos, but get the same notice. A few seconds after that notice pops up, I get a notice that PSE has stopped working and Windows has to close it. I can't get in to PSE 8. My husband has a separate user account on our computer and can log in to PSE8 without problem, and without the same notice.
Also, when either of us try to send photos using Photo Mail, neither of us can enter addresses in the address book used with PSE 8. We both use Windows Live Mail for e-mail. We also have PSE 7 and that works fine. Any idea what's going on?

I experience the problem when launching and trying to log into PSE 8.0. Last
year we expanded the storage available under photoshop.com. We discovered we
did not use it, and did not renew the subscription for the expanded storage.
Photoshop.com should have reverted back to 2.0 Gig of storage at no
additional cost. When I log in to PSE 8.0, I get a pop up screen that
informs me that I have 3.2 Gig of storage which exceeds the free 2.0 Gig of
storage available through photoshop.com, and can purchase additional
storage. I have gone into photoshop.com and deleted all photos in storage,
but, because the account is deemed to be suspended because I did not renew,
I can not cancel photoshop.com without first paying the additional $20 to
reinstate the account. I have never before been faced with an additional
cost to cancel a service. Because the photoshop.com pop up screen is the
first thing to appear when I log in to PSE 8.0. The PSE 8.0 welcome screen
is greyed out and I can not get into PSE 8.0. I was told be the tech support
people at photoshop.com that I can only solve the problem by changing my
Adobe ID but, of course, I can't get in to PSE 8.0 to make the changes, and
tech support at photoshop.com can't make the changes.

"The Cable for Ethernet is not plugged in": Ethernet port stopped working

This happened to me on a 17" MBP in April, and now in a new 17" MBP. I find it too coincidental that this has happened RIGHT after several Apple Mac OS X updates this week. I don't believe its hardware as the diagnostics pass. I have tried the computer on several known working ethernet cables and no dice. A survey of the other discussions show this is not an isolated problem, but for me, neither resetting the power management, zapping PRAM, deleting then adding the Ethernet Interface in the Network Sys Prefs, or running Cocktail's scripts and cache cleaning has made a difference. Anyone have another idea?

I also got my MBP 17 in the middle of April. Everything worked great until around May 9th. Then I suddenly got the "cable unplugged" message for my ethernet, and nothing I can think of will fix it.
I have tried multiple modems, routers, connections, and cables, along with the suggested PRAM reset, deleting and adding the Ethernet Interface, and everything else I can think of or find online. The computer is going in to IT tomorrow anyways, so I will let you know what they have to say about it.

CSS11501 Ethernet Port stops working

We've had a CSS11501 installed for around 18 months. In the past 8 months we've had three occurrences were we loose IP connectivity on the uplink from the CSS to a Cisco 3560 however nothing has changed. When the issue occurs we are unable to ping the C3560 from the CSS and vice versa and all IP connectivity to servers attached to the CSS is lost from the C3560. The first time this occurred we rebooted the CSS and the issue cleared. The second time this occurred we physically move the UTP cable providing the uplink to the C3560 from port1 on the CSS to port 2 and the problem cleared. We equipment shows no events within the logs.
I've searched the bug database but have not found anything matching this issue. We are using version sg0810106 (08.10.1.06).
I would appreciate any advice and a suggested fix from anyone else who may of had a similar issue.
Thanks,
Chris

All I can think off is if they are in auto-negotiate, they could fail to negotiate.
Can you try to hardcode the speed and duplexity on both the CSS and the router.

Just noticed that when I close my mail app by double clicking the home button and swiping up it dies something weird. After doing this when I open my mail, instead of showing all my mailboxes it automatically opens one of them instead. Anyone know why?

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them.

I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone?

I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone 5. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel and are checked to select them. But they do not show up in iPhone Videos. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone? I recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.6.8

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that (settings/usage) it was using 900 mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that it (settings/usage) was using 900+ mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, turned the phone off and back on, downloaded any remaining mail on the server to Outlook on my computer, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.
Background: I recently (December) bought an ipad and set up icloud for contacts and calendar, but NOT mail. My email provider is Verizon. I use computer, iphone, and ipad to check my email; eventually I download it from the server using Outlook on the computer and then delete any remaining emails from the phone and ipad. I can't find info on this problem anywhere.

Howdy there COUGAR444,
It sounds like your iPad all of a sudden seems to be restarting out of no where. If you haven't called AppleCare yet, I would start with quitting either the app that seems to be causing the issue, or all the apps if a single doesn't seem to be the culprit.
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

I am using ITUNES 11 on Win 7 64 bit. I can download podcasts to my IPOD touch just fine but when I click on the ITUNES store I get an error message that stays "ITUNES has stopped working". How do I trouble shoot or fix this? Thanks

Re: iTunes 11 crashes when opening the store - no error message

I just noticed that I can no longer get the shuffle feature on my iTunes 10.4.0.80 to work. I've turned it off and on, but it still just goes in order of the playlist. I too have been getting an error msg at computer startup.

I'm not sure how long it's been like this, but I just noticed that my songs no longer shuffle when playing from iTunes (running 10.4.0.80). No matter if "shuffle songs" is off or on, they still just play on down the playlist in order. Could this be related to other problems I'm seeing listed that seem associated with the latest update? I also get an error msg when my computer is starting up that I think is associated with this latest update (something about not being able to read a line from "Apple sync helper" (hope I haven't butchered that too much, haven't had a chance to copy the error msg)). Is this something that's likely to be fixed in a later update?

After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.
I can't access these images except to go into the applications.
Also, I'd like to import my iphoto library into aperture, and move aperture library to an external drive. I tried the import first, but there wasn't enough space. Then I tried copying over the aperture library onto the external drive but it failed bc it said file was in use.
As it is, I only have 50gb left on my imac, and the aperture library is 150gb. Also, I have over 10k images in both libraries combined and there are tons of duplicates that need to be sorted, and hopefully not messed up because I've organized most of them.
So in short, I need to know how to do the following:
-select photos in finder in aperture/iphoto libraries
-move aperture library to live on external drive
-import iphoto library into aperture library
-eliminate dups but maintain organization
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
-live happily ever after
Thanks in advance for any support you can offer!!

If you're using apps like iPhoto or Aperture then they replace the Finder for managing your photos. The point is that you use the (many) options available via these apps for the things you want and need to do with the Photos.
So, simply, you don't select the photos in the Finder. I'll append the supported ways to do this - which are faster and will yield the current version of your Photos - to the end of this post.
-move aperture library to live on external drive
Managed or Referenced Library? Managed -
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit Aperture
2. Copy the Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Referenced - relocate your Masters first.
These issues are covered in the Manual and on this forum hundreds of times.
-import iphoto library into aperture library
FIle -> Import -> iPhoto Library? Have you done this already? If so are you trying to move the Masters to Aperture from an iPhoto Library? Or Consolidate them?
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
You can't. Every photo is in a Project. They’re the basic building blocks of the Library.
You might want to spend a little time with the manual or the video tutorials. I'm not sure you've grasped the app you've purchased.
The following is written for iPhoto, but about 97% works for Aperture too.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto/ APerture: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics. This is what you use to attach your shot to your GMail
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto/ Aperture.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto/ Aperture not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser

A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port. WHen we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?

A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port. When we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why? Obviously the device is operational. Could the USB port have burned out from having too much power drawn? If so, is it reparable?

It can't draw "too much" power, it can only draw as much as the USB port is able to provide and no more. IIRC, the keyboard port has a lower power output than the iMac's port.
That being said, yea, it's possible that the port has failed and it can be replaced or if another port works you can use that one. Although if it is still under warranty or covered by Apple Care, then I would take it to an Apple Store or service provider to get the port repaired.

I just noticed that my ethernet port stopped working.
