Installed VRN L2TP - but cannot connect due to machine Authentication - shared secret - ?
Hi, I have an imac (os - x Version 10.9). I installed VRN L2TP in order to view some TV. However, cannot connect as am being asked to Machine Authenticate - shared secret. ?
Clueless John
Do you mean VPN? (That's a method for connecting to another network securely, and does indeed require a shared secret to connect using the L2TP method.)
VPN is a way that you can view online TV from other countries that normally block global access. I believe it's an issue that the Apple Discussions terms of service would consider infringement, so your best option would be to talk directly with the software or service provider who's supplying your VPN.

I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?
Welcome!
Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
It goes in an available PCI slot
There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:
USB wireless "dongle:"
Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
USB PCI adaptor:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=7069&Ntt=USB+PCI
Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner. -
I switched ISP a few days ago and had problems with airplay since. After restarting and reinstalling and updating, re entering pass keys for new wi fi on everything, Apple TV shows: Your Apple TV is connected to your wi fi network but cannot connect to the Internet. Ipad3 and iPod touch 3G have no airplay icon or get one briefly then it disappears again. Same with itunes on windows laptop.
Can anyone help?
BobWelcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment. -

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

You can print to a USB printer connected to your LAN or computer by installing/activating Ait Print on a PC or Mac.

how can i get upgrade the ios x v 10.5.8? I purchased an iphone 5 but cannot connect with my macbook 5. I cannot update itune 11 as my ios is not up to date
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard. -
Windows 7 displays the icon for my C3180 (connected to an XP PC) but cannot connect to it
I have a Photosmart C3180 connected to an XP Pro PC on a LAN. I have a 2nd PC connected to the LAN. I upgraded this 2nd PC from vista business to win 7 32 bit home. The Win 7 PC can 'see' the printer on the network but cannot connect to it. It says: 'Operation failed with error 0x0000046a'. I downloaded and installed the Win 7 32 bit programs and drivers for this printer. It works if I connect it to the Win 7 USB but not across the network. Any advice greatfully received.
ThanksHere is a url that goes to a great HP printer diagnostics utilities page. You should be able to find a network connection utility on the page that helps you solve your connection issue.
Best regards,
erico

Acrobat XI installed and runs but cannot update or register?
Acrobat XI installed and runs but cannot update or register? typical fixes don't work or apply. Seems to be a very peculiar situation. Any thoughts?
Anubha,
If I open acrobat 11.0 and click on Help before I open a file, there is no choice of Product Registration.
If I open a file, and click on Help, there is a choice for Product Registration, but it is transparent and cannot be selected.
If I close that file but keep Acrobat open, a large dialogue box will pop-up asking me to register, and when I proceed, and after about 2-3 minutes, I receive another pop-up saying to check my connection and retry. I can
retry over and stay in this loop. But when I close the registration pop-up and go back to Acrobat, the Product Registration selection under Help is no longer transparent, and I can select it. But when I do the Registration dialogue box returns, and when I proceed, I get the same no connection-retry pop-up and the loop continues.
In fact, I have done just now, what I describe in the sentence above, in the time between what I typed above and what I am typing now in my open browser window.
If I click on Help and select Adobe Help, a new tab opens in my browser showing Acrobat's Help page, as it did, just before I typed this sentence.
If I click on Help and select Online Support, and then select Knowledge Base, it takes me to a new tab in my browser which is the same web page as I get when I press F1.
I have selected 'Repair Acrobat Installation' from the Help menu twice and gone through the process with no change in outcome.
If I click on Help and select Check for Updates, it seems to be updating, then stops the process, and I get the Registration pop-up, and the same thing.
This seems entirely bizarre.
What do you think?

i am trying to connect to my friend's wifi, i have a very strong signal indicated on my ipad, but cannot connect to the internet. Yesterday i connected without any problem, can anybody tell me why i cannot connect today?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Did you install the iDVD Extra Content on the iLife 09 disk when you installed iDVD?
Check in your HD/Library/Application Support folder for an iDVD folder. In it will be the iDVD themes.
Make sure that folder is selected in iDVD's Advance preference pane.
Also run Disk Utiltiy to repair disk permissions.

My Imac has discovered my wireless speakers but cannot connect because it ask me to remove my headphones which are not connected, can any one help?
Will you're iMac play music through the internal speakers or does it give you the same error?
I ask because most (all?) Macs these days use a combo optical analog jack for headphones which means that there's a tiny switch inside that can get stuck. I've never heard of a problem just like yours (which could be a bluetooth issue) but I have had similar issues on my wife's Macbook.
If you get the same error, or can't play music out of the internal speakers then try inserting re-inserting a headphone plug a few times. If you do a few Google searches you can find additional info.
