I switched to cable and can't get wireless.
I just switch to Cox high speed internet. For that I needed to buy a cable modem. I bought a Linksys BEFCMU10 by Cisco. I'm using a Powerbook running 10.3.9. I have a snow dual airport.
I can get on the net fine if I connect the ethernet cable directly to the laptop. The airport worked fine as of last night when I disconnected it to move it to reconnect to the new cable modem. It had been configured to use dial-up.
I've tried to reconfigure it to use the cable modem instead but so far no luck.
The airport is on. The airport says it's connected via ethernet.
But I can't get online.
So everything works. But I can't get the laptop to connect to the airport wirelessly. I've tried unplugging and restarting everything.
Is there something else I need to do to switch the airport over to ethernet? Should I have used the Airport Admin Utility instead of the Airport Setup Assistent? It is really annoying having to run a cable from the TV to the laptop.
The cable modem has a mac address for the ethernet. I gave that to my ISP provider and the line is working. I can get on the ethernet by using the ethernet cable directly from the cable modem. But when I hook the ethernet cable to my snow airport, I can't. The "airport fan" is all black, the signal is good. But I get a "10" or a "169" DHCP that won't connect. What's the point of an airport card and an airport station if I have to stretch a cable across the living room?
The airport base station worked fine when I was using the dial up modem. I reconfigured it for the cable modem. It worked once. Then I shut my powerbook off and took it to school. When I came home, I can no longer go wireless. Yes, I reconfigured the network to home in the system preferences.

switched to galaxy 3 and cant' get texts from people that used to imessage me. I have tried everything but swtiching my phone number.
If you no longer have access to your iPhone, you will need to contact Apple for help deactivating your phone number from their iMessage system so those with iPhones will send normal text messages to your phone number instead of iMessages.
Reference: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5185
iOS: Deactivating iMessage
Symptoms
If you experience any of these symptoms, you may want to deactivate iMessage:
You can't receive SMS on your non-Apple device when another person sends them using an iPhone.
You can't send SMS to a non-Apple device because they send as an iMessage.
Resolution
If you experienced the symptoms above, your cellular phone number may still be registered with iMessage. When you turn iMessage on with your iPhone, iMessage registers your cellular telephone number.
To deregister your phone number, tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
If you can't deactivate iMessage after you perform the steps above or you can't access the iPhone, please contact Apple Support. -
Reinstalled Windows 8.1 and can't get wireless adapter to work
I just did a fresh install of my OEM Windows 8.1. At this point I'm trying to get my wireless network setup again.
If I look under device manager under "Other devices" there is a Network Controller listed, which I'm assuming is my wireless card. If I try to go online to look for drivers, nothing is found.
I've downloaded the most recent Intel Wireless LAN Driver listed in the Drivers & Software section of this website, and that doesn't seem to do anything after install and reboot.Your support page is here - http://support.toshiba.com/support/modelHome?freeText=1200008293
Toshiba's are picky about installation order - install the chipset then video driver before the other drivers and install the TVAP before the other Toshiba applications.
Select drivers tab then windows 8.1 64 bit, then Lan - install the lan driver, wifi to see available drivers and install. The card reader is often an unknown device so install it to.
You will need the TVAP for special functions key to work
Sometimes it takes a few start overs with Toshiba's untill you get installation order correct.
Here is a installation order to use as a guide, your model is different so you will have to get the drivers from your support page.
Here are two:

RV042 - I have customer who upgraded to 20 meg cable internet service and can only get 10 meg thru the router. The customer had upgrade to a 20 meg cable internet service from a 10 meg service. The customer is only able to get the 20 meg service going from cable modem to PC. If he goes thru the RV042 router, he is only getting up to 10.7 down and 1.37 up. Additional steps taken….He had a Linksys SRW224P switch connected to the RV042 router and we had disconnected this switch for testing purposes. We performed the speed test again and we get the same speed results so we know the switch is not the issue.He had upgraded to firmware version 1.3.12.19 – TM Feb 13, 2009 – tested speed and no change.We accessed the web management interface and tried several modifications. This includes the following…..- We disabled the firewall – no change- We disabled SPI with is the Stateful Packet Inspection (I was thinking this one would do it) – no change in speed.- We disabled DoS (Deny of Service) – no change.- We set MTU to Manual and tested various byte increments based on MTU ping testing. – Once again, no change in speed. He is NOT using Load balancing on the routerHe has NO access rules but does have a few port forwards. Finally, with each change, he is saving the changes on the router.
You are expecting 20MB throughput on a $150 router? Well, ok, maybe.. Can you check on your router or switch if the port is set or auto negotiated to 10 or 100? That could explain 10MB limit (although technically a 10Mb port is considered 20Mb theoretical max throughput as 100Mb port is considered 200Mb per Cisco). So maybe you ended up with 10/half somehow? MTU 1500 would also be good for that connection I think and to try to get max throughput.

Unable to communicate." I worked with the AppleCare guy for a couple of hours. We got it to print via USB but when we switched to ethernet hook up via Time Capsule it won't communicate or install the printer.
Try two things (separately, trying to add the printer in Print & Scan/fax prefs after each):

Imac i5 late 2009 running OS X 10.8.4 and can't get FireWire connection to work
I have Imac i5 late 2009 running OS X 10.8.4 and can't get FireWire connection to work with LaCie external drive. I have gone through older posts and tried with no luck power cable and holding down start button for 15 seconds and restoring power and also removing power cable waitng 10 minutes replugging power cable holding down alt command P, R keys until second beep is heard. I know that LaCie drive and cable are working, they were connnected to another iMac without issues. What options do I have left to get FireWire to work? The System Report just says
FireWire Bus:
Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec.
Thanks for any help
CSI did not mention in original post that when initially connected to the Firewire port the LaCie drive I can hear activity so the drive is getting power. Does this mean the Firewire port may not be physically damamged and there may be options for resetting? Are there any 3rd party software repair programs worth buying for diagnostics and repair of the FireWire port?

I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=10.6+snow+leopard&_sacat=0&_odkw=mac+os+10.6 &_osacat=0
Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is still $29. You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook.
Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications. -
Help! New iMac won't recognize ethernet cable and can't check it
I just unboxed my new iMac and can't get on the internet (I'm on my powerbook). The problem is this; in Network, it says "The cable for Built-In Ethernet is not plugged in." Only, it is. Can't be the cable b/c that's the cable I'm connected with right now. So, I go through "assist me" and when I click on "Assistant" it takes me to the Intro page where I'm supposed to give a Location Name. I do this, calling it "home." The ver next screen, after clicking "continue" takes me to "How do you connect to the internet?" The problem here is that, of the 5 options, only one is selectable. Airport is the only one that can be selected?? "I use a telephone modem to dial my ISP" as well as "DSL Modem/Cable/Lan" are all greyed out..they cannot be selected. I use an ethernet cable. Why is this not able to be selected? It's very frustrating. I've turned off Airport and Bluetooth, yet I still cannot check any of these. I need to check "I use a cable modem to dial my ISP" but I can't b/c it won't allow me. Can anyone help me here? I can't use my brand new iMac and it's kind of a bummer. I thought these things were plug and play? Thanks.
I went and checked logs. Now, I'm not exactly sure what it means, but this is what it shows in the console.log:

MCXD.initializeDirectoryServices: Unabe to get the ethernet address
So, I'm curious about that last line. I'm completely stumped. I'm going to have to call apple care. I plan to speak with my IT guy who installed my SW to see if there's any pref's or something that my agency puts on the agency computers that would maybe be doing this. He said he'd be doing a "build" on my machine so that I had that same software I have at work, so I could work from home. Don't know how that could cancel out my ability to select Ethernet in my Network Port Configurations, but who knows.
I'm just bummed I have a new computer and can't get it up and running. -
i have a global phone and plan but I just landed in Colombia and can't get a signal
there are are no 3 switches, you have a choice between cdma,gsm, or global network. I appreciate you trying to help but you shouldn't talk down to someone when you don't know what you're talking about.
anyway. I couldnt call that number because my phone wasn't connecting to the roaming towers.. Guess why
becsuse the douchebag at verizon I talked to at customer service (*611) before I left the airport In USA forgot to turn on the global option on, on his end even though he said he did before we hung up. What an aggravating experience.
And by the way I was right, I had to select gsm network after Verizon cleared my phone for international roaming and manually select the company Verizon has a roaming deal with "Claro" so I was in exactly the right area and you were completely wrong The reason it failed to register was because verizon didnt authorize international roaming. Too bad you didn't know that, that would have been helpful. you trying to give me advice is like a nascar fan telling a professional racecar driver that he's doing it wrong And that he should only do the things he suggested.. -
I just bought a new Epson projector, connected it to my Mac with a USB port and can't get any display. Any suggestions?
USB is not a Video Interface. to use it with this projector, you must have downloaded and be running:

Mac OS X (v10.7 - v10.7.x), Mac OS X (v10.6), Mac OS X (v10.5)
epson14423.dmg - 2.9MB - posted on 10/24/11
This file contains the Epson USB Display v1.50. This software, along with a USB cable, allows you to display images from your computer to your projector.

I think it may be superior to get a VGA or HDMI adapter and use the display features built into your Macintosh. -
Updated my iPad and can't get past agreeing to T
Updated my iPad and can't get past agreeing to t&c as the part on my screen where u have to agree is broke. Is there any way around this or will it only be resolved when screen is fixed?
Try a device reset and start over again with the setup.
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
Re-reading the post, I now see your issue more clearly...can you rotate the screen (be sure Orientation Lock is disabled) to have the "agree" tap-able section in a different physical place (out of the bad section) on the screen so the bad part of the screen will be in a different area? Give that a try.
