Intel mac and internet connection

is there anybody else out there who's having problems with connection to the net with there Imac intel? uk preferred:)

Hi
USB dont work well with macs as you need a driver which get broken everytime the OS gets updated.
Get yourself a ethernet modem/router like a Netgear DG834 http://www.dsl-warehouse.co.uk/product.asp?pr=DG834 or if you need wireless a DG834G http://www.dsl-warehouse.co.uk/product.asp?pr=DG834G no drivers no future problems.
Also its not Apple's fault that speedtouch make driver's that dont work.

How do i use my iMac and the macs wired internet connection to share the internet with my iPod and iPhone

How do i use my iMac and the macs wired internet connection to share the internet with my iPod and iPhone. For 6months I had set up a network that shared the internet through bluetooth to my iPod 5th gen but i messed it up when i tried to add my iPhone 5s and i can't remember how to do it.

The following has instructions: OS X Mavericks: Share your Internet connection

Mail and Internet Connection conflict

I have a VPN PPTP connection running. Most of my other Mac internet apps run fine (Safari, Fetch), for that matter Mail can read new emails. The problem is that Mail won't send mail until I close the VPN connection. I figure this is a port conflict, Mail output and Internet Connection using the same ports, is there a way to change the port either is using? If so, any idea what I should change it to?

Client dns and internet connection

Hi,
Running 10.5.5 Server with basic DNS for inter clients to access AFP/SMB and Wiki services via Open Directory. IP address is 192.168.1.10
Clients currently receive internet via DHCP from a router and Network preferences autofills DNS and search domains with router address 192.168.1.1 and RP614v4 respectively.
If I add the server IP and search domain, I can't see the server via DNS name unless I reverse the order in the fields (192.168.1.10 and ######.private). However this turns the internet connection to snail pace.
How can I get the DNS to work for both the internal server and internet connection?
Thanks,
Joel.

If your DNS server is running correctly, there's no reason why it should resolve any slower than the router. The fact you're mentioning it implies that the delay is significant so I'll guess that your clients are requesting an address from your server, but that's timing out so they're falling back to the router before proceeding.
You should check your DNS server to make sure it's set to be recursive (so it answers queries for non-local domains, too). That way the clients can get all lookups from your server and you should be good to go.

Video and Internet Connection

So I bought this brand new Macbook Pro only two months ago, and already I'm experiencing issues with the video and Internet Connection. When I try to watch video, it plays for a few minutes, then completely stops, though it is buffered and loaded completely. It never starts replaying unless i refresh it, but then it happens again and again. Then for the internet connection, when im opening websites and everything, suddenly the it says "Sorry you are not connected to the internet" then after a few moments, it works, but this is very annoying. Websites also load very slowly. Is there anything I can do?

How many lines do you have on your wifi "fan" up at the top right of your computer and how far are you from the router? sometimes things like that happen when I sit a little too far from our wifi hub. If I show a good set of bars I have good internet flow etc. if just a single bar or barely, it gets dodgy.

Mac and iPad connect to wifi, iPhone will not. I have tried all resets besides the full erase reset and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

I would honestly try this. It is how to restore your phone and see if it works.

Where have my speaker volume and internet connection notification icons gone?

This morning two 'notification icons' (at bottom right of screen) vanished: speaker volume, and internet connection. How do I restore them?
I have Firefox 6.0.2 running on Windows Vista

Great, thanks you two, much appreciate the help. They only say it will be restored ASAP. Has this happened before and how long did it take to fix? Also, I'm in the UK so I assume its a global issue?
Thanks

Sharing display and internet connection between a 13inch Mac Book and G4

Does anyone know whether it is possible to connect a Mac Book and a G4 Powermac with an ethernet cable and then hook them both up to the same display and ethernet internet connection?

Usually you use a router to share an internet connection and to make a local network between the computers over Ethernet or WiFi. I think it is possible to directly connect the computers without a router, but you might have to use a cross-over cable, I'm not sure how to set up a direct connection. Using a wireless router with wired ports would allow you the flexibility of using the MacBook wirelessly and the PowerMac with a wired connection. I have an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station, and it was pretty easy to set up, it plugs into my cable modem to share the internet connection.
They make hardware devices that allow you to share a docking station between more than one computer, called a KVM switch, so you can have one keyboard, video display, and mouse and switch between two active computers.
Alternately, using the network connection, you can use Chicken of the VNC, which is a virtual network computer, this opens a window, or full-screen mode, of a computer so you can operate it from another computer.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/
You can also control a PC from the Mac using Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection.
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=remotedesktopc lient
Some monitors have multiple inputs, so you wouldn't need to use a KVM switch, if for example your monitor has both DVI and VGA inputs, the front panel can select the source, so you could use a DVI adapter for the MacBook and a VGA for the PowerMac. You could still use the KM portion of a KVM switch if you wanted to use a single full-size keyboard and mouse with both computers.

Internet Dropouts and Internet Connection Trouble; POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Here is something that might help
I have had problems with this on my old G5, Intel Macbook, and More Recently my Mac Pro (past 4 years I have airport trouble)
I spent hours trouble shooting, the thing that ends up working for me three times so far has solved my problem
Here is a step by step instruction of what I did (continue anyway if you are not receiving the same circumstances/results)
Remember this is also a diagnostic method for yourself to see what is working and what is not so you can solve the problem. Also I still get network drop outs and sometimes internet performance decrease but a lot less frequently by performing the steps bellow. If your problem persists then I might be able to trouble shoot with you. In no way this method will be successful and your problem may become worse so use discretion when applying the steps below
1)Check "Console" to see whether broadcast is being dropped (utilities folder)
2)Make sure your problem persists with all other applications not running (including your virus software)
3)Reset Safari and continue loading to see if network performance is still hanging up
4)If slow loading persists/airport drops shut down computer and boot into safe mode by holding shift key (this empties cache stuff and does a few repairs)
5)Load Safari and see if slow loading persists (while in safe mode)
6)Go to disk utility and repair disk first (or verify)
7)If disk comes clean then precede to repair permissions, there are many errors that show up that are nothing to worry about "ACL found in different place" is one of them.
8)Shut down, (do not restart and wait for 10 sec, I have no idea why this happens and it does not make sense to me but I have restarted and ended up with some other problems)
9)Turn on computer and proceed to disk utility again (do not worry about airport, do not touch yet
10)Verify disk again (remember not in safe mode)
11)Repair permissions once again (different things are loaded into the permission system; plugins ect.)
12)Shut down computer again
13)Turn on computer and proceed to open network preferences and remove airport service (make sure your changes are applied)
14)Open key chain access
15)Delete your network password (if it exists) in "login" and in "system"
16)Shut down computer once again
17)Reapply all network configurations in the network preferences panel
18)Shut down computer once again and turn on
19)Check airport performance over the next 30 min or so by clicking links actively and waiting
20)If problem persists you may have corrupted files somewhere and may have to delete some preference files and perform the method above once again (to be safe I suggest running the disk utility test once again)
note: for some reason Leopard still remembers old network information even after deleting it. you need to find a way to keep leopard from using old preferences (it can be any of them). If all thus fails trash your router settings (on your router, factory defaults) and perform the steps above once again)
Please report abnormal occurrences like the "self assign ip address problem in network preferences" so we can narrow down where problems are mostly occurring"

I quote from the System Preferences Help:
If your computer is connected to the Internet, you can share its Internet connection with other computers on your local network.
For example, if your computer is connected to the Internet using a DSL modem and has an AirPort Card installed, you can share the DSL connection with other AirPort-equipped computers.
On Windows computers, sharing your Internet connection is sometimes referred to as a “network bridge” or “bridging your network.”
To set up Internet sharing:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing.
Select Internet Sharing.
Choose the Internet connection you want to share from the “Share your connection from” pop-up menu. For example, if you’re connected to the Internet over Ethernet, choose Ethernet.
Select how you want to share your Internet connection in the “To computers using” list. For example, if you want to share your Internet connection over AirPort, select AirPort.If you share your Internet connection using AirPort, click AirPort Options and give your network a name and password.

Dock and Internet Connection Problem

Since downloading some software updates recently, my computer has been behaving strangely. Most notably, I no longer have an internet connection on my Mac. My Mac is the computer connected to my wireless router and my other computers pick up the internet signal fine. Network Diagnostics show all aspects FAILED.
This all became apparent when I hit F12 to access my Dashboard. All of my widgets were INOP and then my Dock went dead--wouldn't pop up. I had to restart my computer to get my dock to show.
Can anyone help?

Well after some troubleshooting, it looks like my network card may be the culprit. Does anyone know the cost of replacing one and/or where I can order one if it comes to that? Maybe it's just some settings (wishful thinking?). Can anyone help?

Bit of a strange question regarding security and internet connection

This is a bit of an odd question so bear with me for a moment.
I sold my old G4 to someone I didn't know yesterday. While he was looking at it to make sure it was working I allowed him to plug my ethernet cable in (connected to both a netgear router and a cable modem) and go online to install an application on the computer he was buying. It did't take long and I didn't actually see what he installed but after he left and I plugged back in to my mac pro, my internet connection started suffering. It started by being very slow and then timing out with servers. I reset the modem and even bypassed the router but the connection did not improve and eventually I could only get a self assigned IP address with no internet, although the modem appeared to be fine.
Aside from finding my I.P. address at my location, is there anything else he could have compomised security wise, either in the name of harvesting some kind of info or just creating a problem in the cable network when I let him use my connection on the g4?
I think that most likely I'm being a little paranoid but the timing of this is a bit strange. It literally went down hill just after he left.
Today the cable company is reporting a wider internet outage than just me but I just though I'd throw it out there to see if there are any security wholes exploitable when someone uses your internet connection (I would think and hope that there are not).
thanks a bunch

Well, in the closing the stable door approach it is a good idea to do a complete erase and install when selling any computer. There's lots of references to this and even one about removing a certain file so when they start up they get the brand new Mac greeting window. If you do not erase the drive using the secure erase feature in Disk Utility then with an $80 investment plus an empty spare drive the purchaser can likely recover any files you had on the computer recently if they consider it worth the effort.
I suspect the internet issue is not related to this, especially since your ISP commented about problems.

PC user switching to Mac Pro - Internet connection/Mail questions

Hello:
I am a long time PC user that is going to switch to the Mac Pro. I have two questions relating to the Internet/Mail.
(1) On my PC, I have an ADSL modem to connect to the internet. Can I plug that directly into my Mac Pro's Gigabit Ethernet port, or do I need other Apple Hardware? I have no interest in going wireless.
(2) If/When Parallels is working for the Mac Pro, can I use Apple Mail, then attach files from Windows Office products (Word, Excel, Visio, etc) via Parallels. I want to migrate to Apple products, but at this time, I still need my Office products.
thanks in advance for helping this Mac newbie.

Welcom to the Apple Forums!
If your modem has a ethernet connection, then you can
connect it with a cable to the Gigabit networkport on
your Mac. Just like the same as Windows.
Whit parallels workstation is it possible to acces
the Mac disk. So, you can save from windows on your
macdisk. And then, you can acces it with mail.
You said: _from Windows Office products (Word,
Excel, Visio, etc) via __
Remember, there are also office products for the Mac.
When you are using Parallels to run Windows, it is
not possible to acces de Windows HD from Apple. So if
you want to share files betwee Windows and Mac, you
have to do ut from windows. Windows can read/write
the Mac disk.
You can set up a share folder with Parallels between Mac and the PC side which is what i do. Maybe work on something on XP than put back in the share folder than see it on the other side . But seeing externals and such from the PC side i can't seee them but the share folder does work. I switch my office to the mac side and it works fine and use Entourage as my mail client, looks and smells like outlook

Oracle 10g and internet connection

I recently installed a program which uses and installed the Oracle 10g database, but cannot run the database while I have an internet connection. If I disable my internet, I can run Oracle and my program. If I am connected to the internet and run the program it pops up this box:
DATABASE LOGIN FAILED
+... due to Oracle condition:+
ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
OK
When I click Ok, it pops up a new box with 2 tabs: one asking for me to:
Choose a (named database)
This installation stores data in a named Oracle database.
Since you may have several such databases, please select the name of
your desired database from the list below.
Note: If you are connecting to a local, single-user database, it may not have
a name, or its name may not work. In that case, you would need to choose
the entry "<<always use default>>".
There is a drop down box with 3 choices for the Database to use for this installation: XE, ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA, and <<always use default>>
The other tab is:
Describe Privileged Account
For maintenance purposes, this system also needs the name and password of
a privileged Oracle user account. It uses this privileged account
only as needed, for various setup and maintenance tasks, such as
o     creating the application's user account,
o     providing it with storage space,
o     providing backup/restore services,
o     applying software updates.
Please enter the privileged account's name and password below.
If you do not know the account's name and password, please contact your
Oracle database administrator (DBA).
And it is asking for a user name and password. The Oracle help said that info should have been displayed somewhere during the Oracle installation process, but being as though I installed another program that did the Oracle, I don't think I ever saw it.
I think it may matter:
XP Pro SP 3
2.4 GHz processor
3 GB RAM
To summarize; is there a way to run the Oracle database and my internet connection?
Finally, I apologize for likely not providing all you would need to answer my question, I will provide anything else I can if it will help.
Thanks

Hi, thanks for the quick response.
I went through the steps in the loopback adapter installation link you provided and have added a loopback adapter. When I do the ipconfig/all I get the following for the loopback adapter:

Using MS UAM with Intel Macs and Tiger (10.4.6+)

I oversee 50 macs in a server environment. The servers are windows server 2003. About 40 of the macs are able to change their network password via the MS UAM. The remaining macs are intel 10.4.6 and above or intel leopard machines.
Goal: The ability of intel mac users running 10.4.6 and above (leo too) to change their network password.
Let me be clear about the problem.
I have no problem connecting to any share / volume on any server. All file sharing is working properly. The only problem I have is that my users cannot change their password that the network requires for authentication. So, when the password expires, they have to go to a windows machine or use a non-Intel Mac. (I am not 100% sure, but I think this is also happening on 10.4.6+ PPC Mac's...correct me if I'm wrong)
Searching for a solution to this problem was unsuccessful. I found that there is no easy way to get the mac os to use the MS UAM instead of the OS X standard UAM's.
I came across a couple of articles from 2006 (two years ago) that stated there was no fix for this problem, but that apple was working on it. I am starting this thread to renew the subject matter. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem yet? Has Apple stated awareness that the problem exists? Has Apple stated that a fix is in the works?
Please HELP!!!

We have the same problem here --- a high school of mostly Mac clients and only Window Servers.
Hate to think that everyone has to be funneled to an older Mac or a PC in order to do password changes.
I searched <http://www.mactopia.com> about this only to be further 'scared' by what William Smith of Microsoft says in <http://www.officeformac.com/.ee9b2bd>:
-----You should really consider using some third party software. Mac OS X 10.4
-----and higher use AFP 3.2, which has some incompatibilities with AFP 2.2.
-----Microsoft is not planning to update Windows Server with AFP 3.2 but
-----will instead remove File Services for Macintosh altogether after Windows Server 2003.
-----Look into Group Logic's ExtremeZ-IP http://www.grouplogic.com or
-----Thursby's Dave or ADmitMac http://www.thursby.com.
-----Hope this helps!
-----bill
----William M. Smith, Microsoft Interop MVP - Mac/Windows
Note the: 'will instead remove File Services for Macintosh altogether after WindowsServer 2003.'
That will make things even worse for those of us with Mac clients and Window Servers.

Mac, PC, Internet connections, etc... I may be in the wrong place...

Does anyone have an awful time maintaining their internet connection? Please direct me to another forum if there is one on this topic. My settings with Verizon, my ISP, are to the letter.
I need to run Network Diagnostics 6-8 times an hour (sometimes more) in order to reestablish my internet connection. This never happened when I was using a Windows based product.
I thought that it might be the fact that I have a Mac and my husband has a PC, and that maybe there was some peculiar compatibility thing happening, but unfortunately it happens when he is not even here. I'm not eager to call a "geek squad" because I've hear they've done more harm than good.
Has anyone else experienced this? The Genius Bar guy couldn't help me, and my settings with Verizon are what is expected.
Thanks for any help...
Best,
Sheila

The router (if you have one) is the box connected to the modem, which is connected to the internet line-in.
This is the basic setup: Internet connection (like a cable line) -> Modem -> Router -> Computer
If it's only going to one computer, though, you may have something like this: Internet Connection -> Modem -> Computer.
Your problem is almost certainly hardware. Make sure all cords are plugged in (or screwed in, as the case may be) tightly and securely. Check to see if any of them look frayed or blackened at all (which would indicate they aren't working properly). Also, try resetting the connection by unplugging modem (and router if applicable).
The modem will be directly connected to your internet connection. The router will be connected to the modem. The router most likely also has things connected to it (computers, wireless base, or both) unless it is a wireless router.
It's hard to diagnose without being able to see it, but it sounds like a hardware issue.
