I seem to be having ethernet connectivity problems on my thunderbolt Macs - can anyone help?

Today (fateful coincidence?) BOTH my Thunderbolt Macs (27" i7i iMac and 13" MacBook Pro) report No connection to internet in Safari - using Network Diagnostics shows Ethernet/Internet to be working fine, but Safari error continues (onscreen message has strange formatting - each line of the message is repeated three times). This problem looks identical to an earlier problem which was fixed by an early Thunderbolt Display firmware update. Swapping ethernet on my Macbook Pro from Display Ethernet to MacBook Ethernet results in same problem. Meanwhile Email continues to work fine! Any insights/hints/lifelines greatfully received ...

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

I cannot connect to FaceTime, encountered "error processing registration, please try later" message on my Macbook Air, but I don't have this problem on my IMac. Can anyone help?

I have the same problem on my iMac. My facetime has been working, but now I'm getting the same error as You. I've been through the following:
The stuff that Linc Davis suggested, new profile on iMac, moved iMac into DMZ zone with no firewall rules, tested with other Apple-ID, checked hosts file, checked different timezone settings, tried to connect to 2 mobile APs (with diferent providors), changed DNS servers (ISP's DNS + Google DNS + Open DNS) - Nothing helped. Also talked to Apple Support, since i have Apple Care, but the seem to be a bit clueless also Well I've mailed them the results of my different tests, so lets see what they come up with - Unfortunately I'm sure it will be the same suggestion as all the major PC manufactures suggests, reinstall and test - RIGHT !!!!!!
If I get solution, I'll post it here.
Kind Regards

Hello there, RobenCaatje.
The following Knowledge Base article is specific for the issue you're describing:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
Specifically:
Resolution
Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

I am new to itunes. I have an itunes password/account but cannot download anything to my computer or phone from the appstore! Can anyone help?

iTunes does not support drag and drop for iOS devices.
Connect either the iPod or iPad to your computer, launch iTunes.
Select the iPod (iPad) under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
Select Books from the menu.
Then click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.
You can select All Books or Selected Books.

My NetExtender VPN will no longer connect with the Lion upgrade. Can anyone help me?

My NetExtender VPN will no longer connect since I've upgraded to Lion. Can anyone offer some advice?

I have not found this to be a solution in my case. I have some Apple OS users, Fedora/Ubuntu users and Windows 7 users who are using the SonicWall client. They can connect to either location in the US fine. Once connected, they receive a DNS search domain of pppFrameEncoded =0; instead of our AD domains which are passed fine in Windows and additionally the correct DNS servers (IP addresses) are listed in preference above the local router IP of the user.
I found that the correct DNS and routes were listed in the SonicWall client and while could ping the IP of the resource, I could not resolve its hostname with the Network Utility. After manually adding the Search Domains (we have two) in preference and removing the previous above, I was then able to resolve lookups to the FQDN and IP but not the hostname. This really ***** for our Apple users who are mainly execs and use samba connections to shared resources. Strangely enough this also seems to impact the Apple iPad and iPhone 4 I have on iOS 5.1 as well. Any thoughts anyone? Can connect with no error, ping IP, can resolve easily FQDN and can access resources by IP or FQDN but not by hostname.
172.xxx.xxx.xxx works fine
smb://hostname.sub.domain.com works fine
smb://hostname does not but resolves
Anyone else run into this? It doesn't affect any Windows users at all.

Very frustrating problem with Photoshop Elements 10 - can anyone help?

I don't know what's happened, and I haven't changed any of the settings or anything.
When I open a photoshop file I am currently working on, now, no matter what I do, nothing changes in the actual photo. Even when I delete layers to see if it reverts back to the original photo, nothing changes. When I try adding new layers, nothing happens, when I try adjusting something such as opacity, or brightness/saturation, nothing changes.
I've tried opening/creating other photoshop files and I have the same problem, so it seems a problem with the actual software, rather than individual files. Even after uninstalling then installing the software, the problem is still there.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? Or could you direct me to a good help forum/source?
Many thanks

Welcome to the forum.
I would go to the Photoshop Elements Forum, and look for Loraclf's post there, or post with your problem, your equipment info, and the problem. Someone there will be able to help you.
Good luck,
Hunt

The mail application on my I-Mac dates all mail, whether sent or received, as 5th (of whatever month it is). The computer clock is working, so it's not that. And the time seems to be right. I have no problem with my MacBook. Can anyone help, please?

The mail application on my I-Mac dates all emails, in or out, as 5th (of whatever month it is). It seems to get the time right.
The computer clock is fine. I have no problem with my MacBook - just with the I-Mac. Any ideas, please?

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.

Hi,
For what it's worth, I picked up the same Trust eSATA I ExpressCard and had the same problem. The post of DrFrankenmac at https://discussions.apple.com/message/8108772#8108772 solved my problem.
You need to download the BASE Driver for PCI-E Sil3132 (32-bit) from http://www.american-media.com/support/downloadDDDS2350S.html that works just fine.

I'm having problems with my Serial Number, can anyone help?

Hey guys.
Alright, so a few weeks ago I bought a Wacom Bamboo Capture tablet, and it comes with a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0
Now, I installed it previously and it worked perfectly.
Then, all of a sudden, I go to boot it up, and I'm asked for my serial... AGAIN.
Also, it's giving me the whole 'Not valid' error.
It's irritating the hell out of me.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the possible problem could be, or how I could possibly fix it?

Aeverin I would start with removing Photoshop Elements and then reinstalling it. Also which operating system are you using? Do you have any other Adobe software installed?

HT204380 I recently got my wife an Ipad2 and I have my own so 2 on one appleID. Both use Wi-fi. I will be traveling a bit and want to use Face time but I can not seem to get a connection between these two pads. Can Anyone help?

OK my family now has (2) Ipad2. Mine and my wifes. We do NOT want a second apple account but we want to use facetime. Both pads will ring like it is making a call but the other pad will not recieve the call.
I'm sure I'm not the only person with one account and two apple products. Can someone please let me know how to get these to ipads talking to one another so that while we are traveling we can utilize facetime?
Summary 2 Ipads both able to call out on face time but I cant seem to set up a call between them?

No you do not need two Apple ID's. This is what I did on my iPod Touch and my iPad using my one and only Apple ID.
I used my Apple ID which is my main email address associated with my ID as the email address that I can be reached on the iPad so essentially all I did on the iPad was turn FaceTime on in the settings and let that email address be verified for FaceTime on the iPad.
On the iPod Touch I turned on FaceTime in the settings and then under - You can be reached for video calls at - I added another email address that I have with AOL. Then I went to the inbox of that AOL email address and there was an email from Apple with a link that I tapped on to finish the verification process. I can't recall exactly what it said, but it was very easy to follow the instructions to verify the address.
Then I went back to the FaceTime settings on the Touch and removed my Apple ID email address from - You can be reached for videos calls at ... You have to remove this email address so that you do not end up calling yourself. FaceTime will always revert to the first email address in the settings so that is why you have to remove the Apple ID email address in the one device.

Problems with Flexible Parameter Passing - Can anyone help with the answer

Hi,
having gone to the trouble of creating a generic form handler which utlises the ability of the PL/SQL Gateway to handle flexible parameters, we've come across an almighty problem.
Whilst the gateway will create two arrays of parameter names and values, it doesn' t seem to handle arrays of values. So, although some of our forms have multi select list form elements, these seem to be incompatible with the Flexible parameter method, as only the first value is returned.
Does anyone know of a solution to this?
I really hope so, otherwise the whole methodology is a waste of effort, and I can't imagine why Oracle bothered to include it!
Here's hoping.
Thanks
Dan

Not sure what flexible parameters are but in the past I've worked on a form that had to pass multiple values (from a multi-select list item) to a report via a single parameter. We did this by creating a pipe delimited ("|") string of all the selected values. Leading and trailing pipes were also added to the concatenated string.
This was exploded into individual rows by using the statement below:
WITH t AS (SELECT '|1|2|3|4|' str FROM dual)
SELECT str, level
, SUBSTR(str, INSTR(str, '|', 1, level) +1, INSTR(str, '|', 1, level+1)-INSTR(str, '|', 1, level)-1) str2
FROM t
CONNECT BY INSTR(str, '|', 2, level) <> 0;
'|1|2|3|4|' is the value of the passed in parameter.
So the report query could look something like
WITH t AS (SELECT SUBSTR(:p_str, INSTR(:p_str, '|', 1, level) +1, INSTR(:p_str, '|', 1, level+1)-INSTR(:p_str, '|', 1, level)-1) itemid
FROM dual
CONNECT BY INSTR(:p_str, '|', 2, level) <> 0)
SELECT a.*
FROM items a, t
WHERE a.itemid = TO_NUMBER(t.itemid);
Hope this helps.
