Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update

Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update. Hopefully Apple will fix this shortly. Little excuse for this kind of screw-up.

so here is da answer
1. go to finder>(computer name)>macintosh HD>library>preferences
2. copy the entire systemconfiguration folder and systemconfiguration.old folder to your desktop
3. restart mac and device which you share intenet to
then you have internet that is about 3x slower than the da 10.7.3 intenet sharing, but works
then, just wait for apple to release da 10.7.4 fixed
please use da steps!

Internet sharing no longer works after 10.5.3 upgrade

I'm aware that a number of people seem to be having wireless networking problems after upgrading to 10.5.3. I apologise if this has been covered somewhere else, but after trawling the forum I haven't been able to find any posts which deal with my specific issue. So any suggestions would be gratefully received...
My 24" 2.8GHz Intel iMac (purchased in Feb 2008) is connected to the internet via ethernet cable through a Speedtouch router supplied by my ISP, o2.
This internet connection is shared wirelessly with the other computer in the house, a G4 MDD running 10.3.9. After switching on Internet Sharing within System Preferences on the iMac, the G4 picks up and connects to the network created by the iMac, which is called (My Name)'s iMac.
All very straightforward, and until a few days ago this set up worked perfectly.
Then I decided to upgrade the iMac from 10.5.1 to 10.5.3, using the Combo updater downloaded from the Apple website.
As far as the iMac is concerned, the upgrade went perfectly and I have no problems whatsoever. I can still access the internet without difficulty as before.
The problem is with the G4. It no longer picks up the network from the iMac. The network's name ((My Name)'s iMac) no longer appears in the drop-down list under the Airport icon in the G4's menu bar (although this list does still contain the names of various neighbours' networks, as it did before, so the Airport in the G4 does still seem to be functioning). Internet sharing on the iMac is still switched on, and the Airport icon in its menu bar indicates that it is "transmitting", but the G4 is just not "receiving" any more. As a result, we can't get online on the G4.
I would be very grateful if anyone could shed any light on this problem. If there is any further information I can supply which might help, please ask.
Steve

Hi SteveSCA-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards
Have you tried powering everything down and then back up again?
Have you repaired permissions on the iMac?

Lumia 920: Internet Sharing no longer works after...

I have a Lumia 920 that's a developer build that was provided at Microsoft Build. After the latest OS update, I am no longer able to start Internet Sharing. I receive a notification that I need to upgrade to a plan that supports mobile hotspot. I am already on a plan with T-Mobile that supports mobile hotspots. I confirmed this with a T-Mobile rep and they suggested I contact Nokia.
Thank you for any help.

Yes, unless you have completely reformated the device.
now,use Japanese.
crazy strange fix, but that's what I had to,do.

ITunes Home Sharing No Longer Working Under Lion

Home Sharing is no longer working between Lion and my Apple TV or iPhone. I am able to watch Netflix through my Apple TV (2nd Gen) so I do have connectivity. I have restarted both devices, and updated iTunes to 10.4. Under "Advanced" in iTunes, Home Sharing is turned on. In Preferences in iTunes under Sharing, it says Status: On, no users connected, even though my Apple TV is connected to the network.
Is this problem isolated, or are others experiencing the same issue?

I'm up and running. Spoke with Apple and they had me go to : preferences, network and create a new location. That seems to have reset something. I had to reset all my devices back to my main network that had stopped working. The guest network will not let Home Sharing work, only the main network.
Others have been able to use Home Sharing without clicking "Done" after typing in their password. After you click "Done" the Shared disappears in iTunes.
Apple help people were GREAT!

File sharing no longer working under Lion

File Sharing no longer works on our household macs running Lion. Shared volumes show up intermittedly in the finder sidebar. But connections fail.

for what it's worth, i too am experiencing this issue and it is driving me insane... Any chance you two came across a workaround or fix?
i've discovered that clicking on "AirDrop" on the shared Mac seems to awaken the shared services (screen sharing, file sharing etc.) and make them available on networked devices.
i'm beginning to suspect that Bonjour may be the culprit as services advertised using Bonjour suddenly spring to life.
it's short-lived unfortunately as availability eventually ceases... Clicking again on AirDrop reliably brings it back...
That's where I am currently... if anybody has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Laptop internet connection no longer works after adding Time Capsule to network

The other day I was setting up my Time Capsule for the first time at my new apartment (after having it in a box for months). I've got internet access through my apartment, so I haven't needed to use it as a router like I did the last time I used it. Also, the router is in another tenant's room. So I opened Airport Utility and adjusted the settings to add the Time Capsule to the network. After doing this, my laptop has lost its Internet connection. I can still connect to the network and my iPad has had no issues connecting to the same network and using the Internet, but the Internet won't work on my MacBook Pro (2006 model).
Since then, I've plugged an ethernet cable between my laptop and Time Capsule so I could find it on Airport Utility and change its settings to connect to the laptop via Ethernet. Also, I called my landlord and got the router reset.
I know the Time Capsule/Airport Utility is involved because the Internet connection died as soon as I tried adding my Time Capsule to the network.
Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem. It worked fine (connecting my iOS devices to my macbook pro using internet sharing) until Lion. Then it all went to ****.

Screen saver no longer working after Lion upgrade.

Hi,
After standard upgrade about 2 weeks ago (mid July 2012) the screen saver no longer works. I mean I can certainly access the application and the desktop can be made to cycle through different photos etc. But when I configure the screen saver it just refuses to go into screen saver mode at all.
I'm not seeing too much occurance of this through the postings which is a bit worrisome as I'd thought this would be a much wider issue.
Cheers,
Herbie

Internet sharing no more working after upgrading to 10.5.6

With my early 2008 MacPro, I used to share my internet connection for my old iMacDV 400 (under MacOS 10.3.9).
All the network and sharing settings were fine prior to the upgrade to 10.5.6.
But after upgrading my MacPro to 10.5.6 I am no more able to browse the web from my iMacDV.
I checked on network setting on my iMacDV and thing looks fine, saying that machine is connected.
On the MacPro side, the network and internet sharing settings looks fine also. The firewall log is not showing any rejection of my iMacDV.
Did someone knows if some security fixes in 10.5.6 require to have additional settings in order to be able to share internet connection ?
Thanks in advance

In fact it seems that the installation of 10.5.6 was not completly done (some reboot were necessary).
I also repair permissions, and things get back to normal, network sharing working fine again.
Best regards

Home sharing no longer works after up-dating

After the last up-date several weeks ago, Home Sharing has stopped working. Have tried re-booting WiFi server, Reset and Restore Apple TV, re-loaded iTunes and nothing works. Any suggestions ?

I had this problem and do have have this same problem every time iTunes updates. What works for me is this.
1: reset windows fire wall to default which removes all apple software for the list of allowed programs. 2: go to programs and features on the control panel, select bonjour and click the repair button to reinstall it. 3: restart your pc. 4: once up and running go back to your firewall and re ad all apple programs(iTunes bonjour iCloud etc.)to the allowed list for your private home network. Exit out and open iTunes. I did this this morning and every part of home sharing is now working flawlessly for me across all devices.

Home Sharing no longer working after updating iTunes

After updating iTunes on both my computers to version 10.7, the home sharing feature is now not working. One computer can see and access the other's library but the other cannot see its. I have checked the sharing preferences on both computers. Both have 'Share my library on my local network' and 'Share entire library' checked and neither are set to require a password. I have turned on home sharing from the 'Advanced' sub menu in the menu bar and both use the same Apple ID.
Any thoughts on how I can fix this. I think it is just a bug and should hopefully get fixed but maybe it's just me.

Internet sharing has stopped working after 10.8.2 upgrade

Hi. So, for the past year, I've been receiving WiFi internet on my iMac, and sharing it via ethernet and sometimes FW800. Lately, mostly just ethernet. As of 10.8.2, this has stopped functioning. I have heard many rumors about internet sharing issues in the update, but it seems I am in the extreme minority in terms of sharing internet via ethernet rather than sharing it via WiFi.
For the record, what I have tried so far is, enabling and disabling all options, trashing preferences, creating a second administrator account on the iMac and trying from that one, switching multiple ethernet cables just in case, and even switching to a different wireless network (we have two in my home on different wavelengths). It's always the same: devices recognize that they're connected to the ethernet port on the iMac. The iMac recognizes it's connected to them. They can obtain their own IP addresses through DHCP, but they cannot, under any circumstances, actually connect to the internet.
Please help! I'm tearing my hair out over here, as this was crucial to my setup. Updates shouldn't work this way.

As with other situations where a window is not visible, it is likely just off-screen where you can't see it. If your main "Final Cut Pro" window becomes inactive (close, minimize, and zoom buttons turn grey) when you attempt to open the "Background Tasks" window, this indicates that the window is definitely opened, it's just offscreen somewhere.
You can solve this problem by forcing FCPX to gather up all of its windows without having to delete your preferences:
1. Attempt to open the Background Tasks window in FCPX,
2. Switch to System Preferences->Displays and change your display resolution,
3. Switch back to FCPX and verify that you now have your missing window back,
4. Switch back to System Preferences and change your resolution back to its previous setting (likely the "Best for display" radio button).

My car dock is no longer working after iOS 4.3.2 update...help!!

I have an after market car dock that normally plays music through my car speakers and charges my iphone. After the most recent iOS update it still charges but does not play music. Any ideas?

Sometimes after iOS updates older tech or even off brand tech may not be supported. I use an older Griffin car charger with an iPhone & iPad and it won't charge because it is not supported. Maybe get a new dock or an Apple approved product, it kinda irritates me as well not being able to use off brand tech. Its cheaper than brand name products...
Hope this helped

Scan via Preview no longer working after Lion Upgrade

After upgrading to Lion, I can no longer use Preview to scan a document from my Kodak ESP9. I have a range of issues, but the most common is that after telling preview to look for networked scanners, and then selecting the Kodak, it open a box that should automatically start a preview scan. Instead, the box shows the SCAN and OVERVIEW button but nothing else, the screen is jsut blank.
I have updated Kodak's sofware and firmware to Lion versions.
Anyone have an idea how to get this working again? It was flawless before the Lion upgrade.
Thanks.

Magic mouse no longer works after Lion upgrade

After upgrading to Lion my magic mouse failed to work. I plugged in an older USB mouse and thankfully it does work. It appears the System Preference for Blue Tooth no longer has my machine name in it, instead it has "Name not available" and the "On" check box will not stay checked when I reopen the preference. The syncing process "Set Up New Device..." doesn't seem to work either, it searches but doesn't find eventually the flashing LED on the mouse goes out.
I've tried to solve this but failed. I believe its something wrong with the installation of Lion on my iMac because I installed Lion on my lap top and the magic mouse WILL sync with it.
What do you suggest I do to remedy this situation?

Solved it myself. Re installed Lion.
Thanks Radio for your help
