IMac not connecting to network when booted into Mountain Lion Installation Partition

My iMac for some reason won't connect to any networks in the list when I'm booted into the installer using a partition, I cick my network, but it does nothing! I even tried clicking a random network with a password it didn't even ask for the password after I clicked it, it wouldn't do anything! What do I do? How do I get this working in the installler partition?

Reset the PRAM > About NVRAM and PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

  • Cannot boot into mountain lion after I have set the start volume to CD drive

    Previously I need to boot from CD so I have set the start volume to CD drive by pressing command+option+P+R at the same time and change the start up volume to CD drive.
    But right now, it can just start from CD but cannot boot into Mac OS (Mountain Lion) which is installed in the hard disk.
    I have tried to press command+option+P+R at teh same time during bootup but seems like right now it doesn't recognize this command.  I have tried pressing "X" or "option" or spacebar, etc during bootup but still it tries to boot from CD. 
    Anyway I can change the start volume back to my internal hard disk?
    I have even disassembled my iMac and the CD drive to remove the previous CD as well.  Then it still tries to boot from CD drive but now saying the device is not bootable and ask me to insert a bootup disk.  I then tried to put the Mountain lion installation DVD (I previously created the installation DVD by following the DIY way from this link http://www.cultofmac.com/180925/how-to-make-a-bootable-disk-or-usb-drive-of-os-x -mountain-lion/) there in the drive but it still said the device is not bootable. 
    I have disassembled my iMac again to remove the mountain lion disk right now.  So the CD drive is now empty.  Anyway I can change the start volume back to my internal hard disk?
    This is really frustrating .. Hope someone can help.
    thanks!

  • IMac loses connection to network when waking from sleep

    Hi There,
    We are a small mixed environment of Macs and PCs running on a Windows 2008 domain. One of 2 iMacs that now run Mountain Lion 10.8.5 is having problems when waking from sleep. One of our designers will go for lunch and the machine will sleep for about 30 to 40 minutes. Upon her return the iMac will kick her off of the 3 shares she usually logs into (2 are on Win2008 machines, and 1 is a MacPro running 10.6.8 Server).
    If she has files open in any of the Creative Suite Apps, the app will crash and she will have to restart the whole machine. If no files are open then she can usually reconnect to the shares after a short while.  Obviously I told her not to leave any files open, but its causing her some headaches.
    Its also creating srv errors (id 2012) on our domain controllers, when she tries to wake her machine.
    This Imac is a late 2009, and we have a 2011 model that has no issues at all. Both are set exactly the same.
    I have reset SMC, Pram, and rebinded to the domain, and searched through these forums quite a bit to no avail.
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

    I am continuing to work on this issue, and have tried a number of things based on searching here and elsewhere.
    And Lucky Me, I have been able to replicate this behavior on one of other Macs (imac 2011, on 10.8.5). I also see errors on 2 separate Windows file servers on the domain (Event ID: srv 2012).
    Below I am posting what seems to be the relevant area of the log.

    I have a HP Photosmart 7510 All in one printer. I can print from computers wirelessly but it says not connected to network when i try to use web services, facebook, or efax. I cant even run an update because if no internet connection. i have tried rebooting routers and printer. Nothing else has issues with internet with router. I have also tried typing in the Ip address in the web address bar but when i go to networking it is asking for admin user name and password that i do not know. How can i fix this issue?  I have downloaded drivers and software from HP site also.

    Hi @Sniper187

  • IMac does not connect to wifi on boot

    I own an iMac and run it with OS X 10.7.5.  Ever since system update 10.7.3 (February 2012) my mac more often than not does not connect to wifi on boot.  I have to select diagnostics and connect manually.  I did a design of experiment and have now discovered that I do not have this problem if I wait about a minute to log in after the login prompt displays.  I like my mac for it's fast startup.  It is a shame to have to wait unecessarily for it to connect to wifi before logging in.  I kenw this was a problem with the system update and this confirms it.  Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening so I don't have to wait?

    It has been a month now and waiting a minute always works for connecting to my airport extreme on boot.  I was cleaning behind my desk and realized that the ethernet cable was still attached to the back of the iMac even though I had moved the airport upstairs.  I disconnected it.  I also opened network preferences.  The wifi was moved a long time ago to the top for priority, but the inactive ethernet and firewire were still listed.  I removed both the ethernet and firewire so the only connection listed is wifi.  My computer has now found the internet on 4 consecutive boots without waiting.  It appears that having the other two options disrupts the connection process on boot.  I will continue checking over the next week and let you know how it goes.  Wish me luck!

  • My Apple TV recognises my wifi network but will not connect to it, when I enter the password

    Help please - my Apple TV recognises my wifi network but will not connect to it, when I enter the password - it just says 'there was a problem connecting to the network - check your settings and try again (5).' What should I do next?

    people repport that apple products in general I believe have problems with support for the outdated encryption type called wep encryption which is also pretty useless and easy to break
    if you use that try disabling it or changing to wpa encryption
    if you use MAC address filtering in your router then you need to add the appletv's MAC address to the positive list

  • Macbook pro won't wake up when booted into Windows 7

    Macbook Pro (Late 2010) with Snow Leopard and Windows 7 64bit. Bootcamp 3.3
    When booted into OS X, then close the lid, let the machine sleep and later, if I connect to power source and USB keyboard and mouse, and then tap keyboard, machine wakes up.
    If booted into Windows 7, if I follow same sequence, the machine won't wake up. The only way I can wake the machine up is by opening the lid.
    Not a big problem, but certainly an annoyance.
    Can anybody help?

    Did you use a geniune windows installation disc? I ask this because I worked on a computer today where someone had tried to use a Windows XP disc that came with a Dell computer. These do not work.
    If it was a genuine install disc, did you get all the way through with the installation, or did something go wrong during the install?

  • I had no problem with my IPad 3 connecting to my wi-fi but for some reason lately it tell me can not connect to network.  I reset both my wifi and my ipad and I still get the same error.

    I've had my IPad 3 for awhile and had no problems with it.  The other day I went to connect to my wi-fi and it told me could not connect to network.  It recognizes my wi-fi but won't connect.  I have shut off my wi-fi and still the same problem.  Today I reset my ipad back to factory and when I get to the wifi setup I still get unable to join the network.  What is wrong

    Dont use a password to connect the ipad and try if unable to join happens try another network. After that it is a repair. Now most likely it is the password on router. typically you access your router with http://192.168.1.1/ BUT it may be different if you changed it or your router uses different one.

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network (time out repeatedly)

    My HP LaserJet CP1520nw won't connet to my wireless router upon installation, no many how many times I've been asked to connect it to the computer via a USB printer cable.   I uninstalled and reinstalled all software, and each time I try to set it up for wireless connectivity by connecting my computer and the printer via a USB printer cable, it gets to 99%  installed on the progress bar and sits there until it times out.  I suspect one of the follow but am open to other ideas from those more knowledgeable:
    1.  Is the printer locked onto some old, initial configuration from a previous wireless network that needs to be purged of addresses, etc. before it can accept the new ones?
    2.  Could my WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion be messing it up?  Are the modern firmware and updates designed to accept these ?  I never have gotten to a screen where it asks for my encyption key or even a WPS pass phrase.  What to do if so?
    3.  Could Church Lady be correct and that it is Satan preventing the installation?  If so, what icons does he use to watch out for and will my Norton anti-virus and malware quarantine him to Hell automatically or does it require manual enforcement?

    Hi @Marvalina1968,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network with Windows 7. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    First to answer your questions:
    It is possible the printer could be locked to an old configuration and needs to be reset.
    I don't think your WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion could be messing it up, unless you got some really strange characters in your password.
    Your Norton antivirus, could possible be causing the installation to fail.
    Please take a look through the following guides:
    'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print.
    Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    If the guides do not resolve the issue, please try the following:
    Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Disable any antivirus programs. Disable antivirus software.
    Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
    Re-install the software. HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Hope this solves your problem, and have a good day!

    I've searched the internet, I've tried solutions on some of the discussions on here:
    Windows 8.1 install fails on new 2013 Retina MacBook
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23490854#23490854
    How to install Windows 8.1 on Haswell MBP

    Windows 8.1 Install Fails on New 2013 Retina MacBook, Users Report
    http://wind8apps.com/windows-8-1-install-fails-new-2013-retina-macbook/
    (Can't try this one because I don't have physical media or a burner and don't want to upgrade to 8.1)
    Tried maskedferret's and jarvil's instructions that might work for others but not for me. Also the process must be older version of disk utility. There is no "minus" to remove a partition in the one I have.
    Half the problem is those threads are so long with people posting up their problems that are not even the same problem. So then you have to sift through all these responses that aren't even really releated.
    If you're problem isn't this problem then please don't use this thread to solve another issue.
    “Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of the installation. To install Windows, restart the installation.”
    I can't find in the release notes of any beta Maverick update that this is being addressed.
    1) Does anyone know if there is a fix coming out for this?
    2) Is there some solution that doesn't require to have physical media?
         a) I have Windows 8.1 iso and product key
         b) I have a 32gb USB stick that I had Bootcamp format
         c) I have a spare 16gb USB stick.  Both are USB 2.0 so I can't do Windows To Go. Maybe I should get one.
    3) I have no idea how tell which MacBookPro I have since no one at Apple seems to believe in model numbers. I just ordered it online two weeks ago and received it this week so I guess it's the "latest" model hardware wise.  Running 10.9
    The cloest possible solution I came across was to boot up Windows 8 OS on a USB stick (Not the install) and run diskpert or fdisk for mbr thought I can' try this out because I don't have Windows To Go.  I'd rather have it worked problem from Apple if I can figure out when they plan to update I might be willing to wait.

    Finally got a physical CD and to the third link option still same issue. Even worse actually as even after formating the partition I get a "Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style"
    Found my "-" minus remove parition in Disk Utility. Will attempt maskedferret's again

  • Galaxy Nexus Not connecting to network

    Good Evening,
    I just received a replacement phone for Galaxy Nexus. The phone is not connecting to network. I am able to connect to wifi but unable to make calls or send texts since having the phone activated last night.  When I was in the store last night I was able to receive and send a few text messages but since then haven't been able to communicate using my phone. I don't know if this an issue with the service in the area North Attleboro, MA or with my phone. Been on hold for 20 minutes with customer service.
    Thank you,
    James

        Thanks for the additional information jdeguilio!
    No issues noted for North Attleboro. Please reprogram and test. To reprogram please pull the SIM card for one minute, then reinsert and power off/on. I see that you are using the same SIM from previous phone and this should not be a problem; however, if you accidentally touched the golden portion of the SIM card that could cause some issues. If reprogramming does not improve, try a new SIM card. You can get one for free at any Verizon Wireless http://bit.ly/3SdsA corporate store.
