Internet does work on other computers but not on Imac

Hi, after an electricity problem my Imac won't make connection to the internet anymore. My macbook and a Toshiba PC still do.
The Imac finds the network but says there's been a time-out while trying to make the connection.
I called the helpdesk of the internetprovider but they said everything works fine, after having tested the connection.
And of course they don't know anything about Mac...
Thanks for any help.

What type of modems and routers do you have? A full make and model workup is necessary to determine the source of the problem. Have you tried connecting directly to the modem by ethernet? And what sort of electricity problem did you have?

How do I troubleshoot installation/distribution of a LabVIEW .exe which processes data using Matlab when it works on some computers but not others?

I've been given the unenviable task of troubleshooting and installing/distributing software written by a former co-worker. I've modified the LabVIEW code and built an .exe file. I've successfully installed the Labview .exe file on several computers, but it won't work on some others. What's more baffling is that I installed it successfully on one computer, uninstalled it, and tried reinstalling it with no success. In fact, it's a new error (Dr. Watson for Windows NT application error). It doesn't help that I have different versions of LabVIEW and Matlab on the target computers. Some have LabVIEW 5.1, some
have 5.0, and some don't have it at all. Some have Matlab 5.2, some have 5.3 (R11) and some have 6.0 (R12). It's also not clear to me where the Matlab m files should be located. I'm not sure if it's a LabVIEW Runtime Engine problem, or if it's a Matlab problem. I've also wondered how LabVIEW and Matlab talk to each other. When LabVIEW calls Matlab, it seems that Matlab is running in the background. In other words, clicking on the Matlab Command Window and typing "whos" or any other command/variable doesn't work.

Logic's preference files may have become corrupted:
1. Quit Logic Pro
2. In the Finder, press and hold down the "option" key then select "Library" from the "Go" menu
3. Open the "Preferences" folder
4. Drag the following files to the Trash:
    - com.apple.logic.pro.cs
    - com.apple.logic.pro.LSSharedFileList.plist
    - com.apple.logic.pro.LSSharedFileList.plist.lockfile
    - com.apple.logic.pro.plist
    - com.apple.logic.pro.plist.lockfile
These files will be re-created when Logic is next opened.

Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.

Internet connectivity works in OS X, but not in Windows 7 Ultimate

I have a new Mac Mini. Mid 2011. 2.3 GHz i5. 8 GB RAM.OS X Lion 10.7.3. Windows 7 Ultimate.
I used Bootcamp to install Windows 7 Ultimate on a partition. All drivers are apparently up-to-date -- they were installed through the Bootcamp Assistant. Internet connectivity works fine in OSX, but is very unstable, if even existant, in Windows. If I do have a connection, I have download speeds of <1Mbps.
Any thoughts on what may be causing this?

Hello, I don't think I can help, I do have 10.7.3 & W7 Ultimate, but I run W7 in Parallels...

And it uses Shared Networking of OSX.

I feel like I'm getting closer. First, the connector on our cable didn't fit snugly. Tug it slightly and it lost contact. I put a new cable on the server and now it seems more robust. Server Admin opened faster, anyway.

IPOD works fine on other computers but not on mine (insists on "restore")

Appreciate any help or guru advice. Switched to WIN XP Pro. Reinstalled iTunes 7.0.2.16. iTunes works fine on my desktop. When I went to sync my iPod, it said "iTunes detected a iPod in recovery mode" and insisted I do a "restore" on it, so I did, of course erasing all music from my iPod. But my computer still gives me same error message. I connected iPod to other computers in the house, and it works fine, and can load and play music fine. Any thoughts? Can I remove iTunes from my computer, and reinstall, and save ALL my music currently stored (whether purchased, ripped, imported, whatever?) What should I do? Help!! and Thank you immensely.

Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)
http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/index.cfm?page=Video/directory.html
2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

I designed my website to have email links and now the work in other browsers but not Firefox

HTML code
href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Web Site Inquiry"
This should open the email client but nothing happens in Firefox. It works in other browsers.
How can I fix this?

This can happen if your script doesn't close all of the HTML tags it opens. Some past threads on pages not rendering fully (usually the missing text is there in the source view, Ctrl+u):
* [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/846246 Part way through a particular web page, HTML stops being rendered]
* [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929969 text is missing from webpage]
If you do not spot the problem, is there a publicly accessible page that you could link to so volunteers could take a look?

When I'm on Facebook and play Fish World, sending gifts is no longer working, the drop down box won't open enough to see the "send" button. It works in other games, but not in Fish World, and I contacted Fish World who said it was a browser problem.

starting yesterday I cannot get the drop down box to open to send gifts to my friends. Fish world told me a few weeks ago it was due to some updates with Facebook, but now that has been fixed and I can't get the game inFB to work. It works with other browsers - Chrome and IE9. Is there something I need to do on my end to fix this? Other facebook games work fine with drop down boxes, it's only fish world.

Embedding video, works on my computers but not theirs, why?

I have made a flyer that has an embedded video clip using Acrobat Pro 9 Extended. It opens and plays ok on Professional Extended and Reader on one computer, also opens ok on Professional (non extended) and Reader on another computer. I emailed the file to my client and he only has Reader. He tried it on his computer and some other computers with Reader and said he gets an error (see below) which comes up when he opens it and doesnt even show the PDF at all. He said he upgraded his Readers to the current version and still gets the error. What else could be causing this?

Wireless USB-Stick: Netgear WG111 works on PB G4 but not on iMac G4-800

Hello!
Please help me to solve this weird problem: I found some drivers that allow me to use the WiFi-USB-Stick WG111 from Netgear on OS X. It works perfectly with my Powerbook G4-1.67, but it won't be recognised in the Network Status Pane of my iMac G4-800. On the pane "active ports" it is recognised, but not on the "Network status" pane. Obviously, on the PB-G4 it is recognised on both panes.
The application that comes with the drivers recognises the USB-stick, it detects my access point, but can't connect to it.
That's weird. What could it be?
I thought it could be the USB 1.0 port of the iMac G4, but apparently other MacUsers were able to connect with it on older G3-macs with USB 1.0 ports.
Help would be appreciated!
Martin

http://kbserver.netgear.com/release_notes/D103229.asp
This is where the version 1.0 drivers are. They say G4 only, but I have it working fine on my G3 400Mhz iMac. It was really slow with 128bit wep encryption, so I backed off to the 64bit on my router and it is plenty fast. Go to remember that the encryption is handled completely by the CPU on thes little guys.

Flash working on some computers - but not others

Good afternoon,
We had a third party flash developer build out the flash
navigation and masthead videos for a client's web site and although
it works fine on my computer (and on the developer's computer), it
does not work on any of the client's computers or my partner's
computers.
Here is the web site in question:
www.quigleysimpson.com/index2.html
According to the client and to my partner, the video cuts out
after a second or two, and some of the navigation links are coming
up 'not found' (e.g. the Multi-Cultural link in the top
navigation).
Upgrading to the latest version of Flash Player was the first
thing we did, and the problem still exists. I can't for the life of
me figure out why.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Cynthia

I understand that neither method did the repairs you are seeking. My post was a side-note information update for you and others who read these posts, that we haven't had to boot from the install DVD to do a Permissions Repair since Tiger (I think)or maybe even Panther (doesn't matter when the requirement was dropped anyway), and that you can actually set some permissions wrong by using the boot DVD because of changes in the OS since it was installed.
For your problem I recommend creating a new temporary Admin user account and seeing if the problem continues in the new account. If it does, then the problem is in the OS, which can be re-installed over the top of your existing installation (without affecting your files in your user accounts). If the problem goes away, then it could be incompatible or corrupted preference files or other incompatible programs in the user account causing the problems. Right now you haven't isolated the problem to either possibility.

Office Web Apps - working in other browsers but not Internet Explorer

Hi there,
I have office web apps on my SharePoint 2013 environment. The previews work file when hovering next to a document but if I try to open it, I get "Sorry, we ran into a problem". It looks as though Excel files open okay but I
have tested Word and Powerpoint documents and I get this error. Also, it only appears to happen in Internet Explorer - Google Chrome and Firefox are okay. Any ideas?

Thanks for the advice. I installed the hoftix (on the OWA server) and now it appears to really be broken - nothing is opening using office web apps anymore.
I found this blog with the same errors I am getting - I'm guessing I will need to uninstall etc. too??
