I need help to setup my network on iMac 24, have a network drive installed already
Not sure even where to start. I have the Apple extreme router, WD network drive and 2 express units throughout the house. Looking to access the netwrk drive from MAcbook and TV that has internet connect through BLuRay disk.
Router is behaving ok and the network drive is set up.
Not sure where to from here. Any manuals available to take one through step by step?
Any help is welcome
Thanks
Well, if there's no Ethernet cable on that Mac you can ignore that, or disable that Interface.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Airport/Wifi in your instance I believe.

Need Help Connecting to my Network Drive
Hello all. I have a Buffalo TeraStation network drive. I have it connected via ethernet to my Airport Extreme. It doesn't show up at all on my shared drives when I select "network" from the finder menu. I have all the checkboxes enabled that would show the drive on the desktop or left pane of the windows.
Just out of curiosity I connected the drive to my Mac's ethernet port and it still doesn't show. Any idea?
I have a Mac Desktop Pro running Leopard.
Thanks;
HenryOk, I feel like a dummy; but happy enough to report I figured it out on my own.
Apparently AirPort Extreme assigned another IP (10.XX.XX.XX) versus my prior (192.XX.XX.XX). I only discovered this when I scrolled through the Terastation Pro display. It scrolls through the varying settings.
Once I realized a new IP was present, I used the "Go" "Connect to Server" commands.
Works great. Maybe someone will learn something from my own lesson. -
Hi! Need help desperately! I downloaded Reader 9.1 and it won't install. Get the error message "Error 1606. Could not access network location %APPDATA%\. Thanks!
Hello again:
I don't mean to step on any toes here but it seems that the root of the problem is being ignored. I offered before that the problems you are experiencing are due to inconsistencies in the Windows registry. While I could speculate on the various methods of how this came to be, I don't have that kind of time nor is there a need. More than likely it is some type of malware that has infected the system but that should be explored on more suited forums such as MajorGeeks.com or BleepingComputer.com. The way I see it, you have a few paths you can take, all of which will lead you to the same place: no more error 1606 and a functional Reader:
Option 1: Run the Windows Live OneCare free safety scanner to resolve any broken registry links it can find.
Option 2: Manually fix the "broken" registry entries in the Windows registry. While I understand Pat's hesitation to do so, the truth of the matter is it will resolve the immediate issue. Once the APPDATA path is corrected, you should then be able to install Reader.
Option 3: Restore Windows to a previous date using System Restore located in Help & Support of the Start menu.
Option 4: [SLEDGE HAMMER] Reinstall Windows over the top of the current installation (NO FORMAT). Use this option only if you have no other recourse. The potential to lose all personal data and settings is high if this option is not performed correctly. If this option is chosen, be certain to use a "setup" profile (username) different than your current username. If you only have a manufacturer's system restore disk rather than a Windows CD/DVD, you may not have the option NOT to format which WILL result in the loss of personal data. This option should only be performed by someone who has previous knowledge of such or is willing to learn even at the expense of data loss/time/effort.
I HIGHLY recommend that any and all personal data is backed up to an external location such as a USB key, CD/DVD, or external hard drive prior to performing option 2 or 4 above. If you would like any of the options explained in greater detail, feel free to ask and I will oblige.
Best of success!

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

Need help accessing the router web page. I have been tol...
Need help accessing the router web page. I have been told my router is acting like a switch and the IP address is not in the proper range. I have tried reseting the router (hold for 30 sec and unplug for 5 mins). Didn't work.
thanksWhat router are you using? Almost all Linksys routers use 192.168.1.1 as the default local IP address, but there is at least one that uses 192.168.16.1 , namely the WTR54GS (not the WRT54GS).
You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank (note: a few Linksys routers have a default user name of "admin" (with no quotes)), and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

Hi I hope some one can tell me step by step how to fix windows 8.1, I can't update any of my Apps and can't install any new apps now and I get error code 0x80073cf9? But my problem is different than most of the other FIXES I read about, because nothing
fixes my problem to be able to install new Apps and get app updates and stop getting that error code?
I keep getting same error code 0x80073cf9 after I try any of the FIXES I have read about and tried all the fixes on my Lenovo Z580 laptop, that came with windows 8 and updated to 8.1. And ever since I bought this laptop I could
always install and update all my apps for the last year when I had Win 8 and Win 8.1 now. This has been going on since April and May and its driving me crazy! And from the May updates I did get all the updates and
I also installed the KB update that said I need this KB to get all updates in the future.
But all the other people when they get this error code they could not even open and use any of their Apps already installed. And they also get the error code when they try to update or get a new apps.
But I can click on any APP installed already and use all my Apps with no problems. I have read so many how to fix this error code but nothing works! :-( I have tried a lot of
the fixes on Microsoft forums that says do this and the fix will get rid of the error code but I keep getting the same error code after I try that fixes. And I have read a lot of other windows 8 an windows 8.1 web sites when
I search for how to fix this error code? And tried all of the fixes that were different from the Microsoft forum fixes. But after I try those fixes I still can't install any apps or can't get my app updates?
Please to any person's who can help me by giving me more that 1 fix, because I have tried so many fixes, If you know more that 1 fix tell me how to do your fix step by step so I can understand what you say to do to fix my windows store?
Thanks for any and all help? And if I don't get any help in this section of the forum I will try to put this in a different area, if I don't get any help at this section of the forum I will try to ask this in another part of he forum ok?
I really need HELP with this so I can get my laptop working again to install new apps and get the updates to my apps?Fixed the problem by going to settings/store and logging out with apple ID. Then logged back in with password and updates, apps, and iTunes store seem to work ok now.

Please help me!--rendering makes the images or video blurry (very pixelated) deteriorates the image Adobe Premier Elements 13 need help! .jpg and mpeg images, but I have never "rendered" before since I got APE 13 about 6 weeks ago. I am desperate for assistance!
That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer. -

I need help to find my iphone 5C. I have id apple but perhaps I can do more to find it. Please contact to ********
<Edited by Host>Hi Oliveira_Lisboa,
The article below has some information about the options and features available, it also has some tips that might help you locate your iPhone.
What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5668
If you lose your iOS device or think it might be stolen, these steps may help you locate it and protect your personal data.
If you enabled Find My iPhone on your missing device
These steps require that Find My iPhone was enabled on your device before it was lost or stolen.
Attempt to locate your device using Find My iPhone at icloud.com/find, or using the free Find My iPhone app.
Put the device in Lost Mode to set a 4-digit passcode and display a custom message with your phone number on your device. While the device is in Lost Mode, you can also keep track of changes to your device's location. Lost Mode requires that your missing device be using iOS 6 or later. If your device is using iOS 5, you can still lock your device remotely and display a message on the screen.
If you want to delete all of your personal information from your missing device, you can erase it remotely. Please note that when you erase a device, you will no longer be able to locate it.
Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
Note: If your missing device is offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or erase it. Your commands will take effect when the device comes back online.If you did not enable Find My iPhone on your missing device
If you did not enable Find My iPhone before it was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate or protect your device, but you can still follow these steps:
Change your iCloud password to ensure that no one else can use your device to delete or make changes to your iCloud data.
Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please??? :-)
Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Need help with routing a network in VMware.
I have one network with the IP of 192.168.2.10. A router is setup with two networks. The first network has an IP of 192.168.2.3 and the second network has an IP of 192.168.3.2. Then there is one final network whose IP is 192.168.3.10. My goal is to set
up route table entries and have all the networks be able to ping each other. The route table entries I am referring to is the
route -p add command. If someone could help me understand what entries I should input so all the networks can ping each other, that would be great. Thanks. If you need a picture of the network, I have a diagram.Hi Brandon,

I need help setting up a network
I am not sure how to go about doing this or if it even possible. I would like to setup a network where 4 or 5 computers will have access to each others shared folders and be able to used the printer on the main computer. I have one desktop that will be left on all the time with the printer also on all the time, which will allow 3 or 4 wireless laptops to have access to it. That part I can do, but what I would like to have also happen is allow other wireless computers to use my internet access, but not be able to see the computer that is always on. The computer will have sensitive files on it that other should not see. Can this be done on one wireless router or is it impossible? Or would I need to setup two completely separate networks? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
RokifireIt sounds like you may need some professional help with this problem.
The only other solution that I can think of, might be to get a wired router that supports VLANS (Virtual Local Area Networks), and then attach two wireless G access points to it. VLANS are supported in business routers, such as the Linksys RVS4000 (about $125). You can assign the wired ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 to 1, 2, 3, or 4 different VLANS. VLANS are used to separate work groups. Data packets on one VLAN do not "cross over" to another VLAN, yet all the users on all the VLANS can share one internet connection. If you attached two wireless G access points to two different VLANS, you could use one for your workgroup and the other for your employees. The two access points would have different SSIDs and different passwords. Your main computer would be wired to the router, on the same VLAN as your workgroup.
I must admit, I have never actually done anything like the above VLAN suggestion. This is only a theory of how someone might be able to accomplish your goal.
I wish I had a better solution for you, but maybe you just need a professional. Hope this helps.
