IPad connect to localhost with Lion 10.7.3?

I'm running a copy of Wordpress on my localhost using MAMP.
It's running perfectly and I can access my install via http://localhost:8888/wordpress/ without any problems.
I've read elsewhere that I should be able to connect to this install via my wireless network using my iPad/iPhone by going to:
IP:PORT/wordpress  >>>  ie/ 192.168.1.7:8888/wordpress
However this doesn't seem to work - I keep getting a Safari 'Cannot Open Page' error...
I'm running Lion 10.7.3 on the macmini and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
Thanks!

To determine your IP address you can view it in System Preferences -> Network and select Ethernet or Wireless depending on your configuration.  The connected interfaces will have a green dot indicating a connected status.
Alternatively, if you are good comfortable with Terminal Application you can try the following:
Make sure the IP address you are connecting to is correct by going to the MAMP server and running:
ifconfig |grep inet |grep -v inet6
This should give a list of your ip addresses such as
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
inet 10.0.1.110 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.1.255
With your ipad you will connect, in my case, to "http://10.0.1.110:8888/wordpress/" without the quotes.  Do not use the 127.0.0.1 address on your ipad.  You look like you may already understand this and were using 192.168.1.7 but it doesn't hurt to double check.
If that doesn't resolve the problem go into "System Preferences" -> "Security"
Select the firewall tab and click "Turn Off Firewall" for the duration of this test.  Turn the firewall back on as it protects your computer.
Then try to connect from you iPad again and it should work.
If that does not it may mean the web server is not listening on the correct interface.  If the above does not work there are many other paths.
You did turn on your firewall, correct?

  • Connect to hdmi with lion

    New iMac 27"  running Lion.  Trying to add my HDTV as an extra monitor so I can watch the "Web Only" tv shows on Hulu.  Just can't make it work and have found some threads elsewhere that indicate it would have worked if I was using an earlier OS.  Is there not a way to do this with Lion?  Have no idea how what monitor you use has thing one to do with DRM but seems to be the case. 
    Any ideas?

    Really? Huh.
    After each time it freezes (and it does so immediately upon connecting the HDMI cable to the port) I have to unhook it and force a shut down for it to get back to normal. I'd rather not do that anymore is all.
    I have changed the input to the correct one, but no change.
    Perhaps it is an incompatibility with the TV, but I have a feeling it's the upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Articles online suggest that Mountain Lion's forcing a switch to Apple TV, cutting out the compatibility with HDMI cable-connections.

  • Syncing notes between iPad and a MacBook with Lion OSX

    I cannot sync notes manually between iPad and MacBook - I could do that with Snow Leopard by creating a subfolder in Notes and keeping my Notes in that subfolder.  This doesn't work with Lion OSx - any ideas out there

    I would prefer MobileMe but have not been able to use that to sync notes.  So - I use itunes and check "Sync notes" under Other in the Info tab

  • Problems with graphics and Internet connection - iMac 2011 with Lion

    First: sorry about my english... It is terrible! lol
    I have an 2011 iMac, purchased in June 2011 in the USA. I brought the iMac to Brazil.
    Sometimes when I turn on my iMac, the graphics are horrible and can not connect to the Internet. When this happens, I have to restart the Lion.
    Apple introduced the "iMac FW Graphic Update 3.0". The information says clearly that supports Brazilian Portuguese. Butwhen I install, an error appears: "this software is not compatible with your system".
    My Lion is in Brazilian Portuguese. Why it is not compatible? How do I install it? How can I solve this problem?
    Note: The technical assistance of Apple changed the HD, according to recall made ​​by Apple through the site. The HD is new.
    Thank you very much!

  • IPhone and iPad connected but not with iCloud??

    When I updated to iOS 6.1, I was asked if I wanted to connect all devices. My mistake was selecting yes!
    I have an iPhone and iPad I just got for Christmas; I was using the same email on both devices for iMessages but I hate receiving all messages on both devices.
    So, I tried to change my email for iMessages on the iPad but when I tried to delete my current email, I received a message that says I will no longer be able to receive emails on any device!
    How can I undo this? Please help!!

    If the process isn't finishing for you there's not a lot you can do to force it. Perhaps a visit to the nearest Genius Bar? I don't know. Sorry I can't offer more constructive advice.
    How long are you waiting on step 2? Depending on the size of your library and the speed of your internet it can take a few minutes, a few hours or even days.

  • Does Icloud sync for bookmarks between Ipad and mac pro with lion work for anyone?

    My wife has an Ipad 2 and Macbook Pro tunning Lion. Bookmarks and docs do not sync on icloud. I see from the discussions many are having this problem. My question is does this work for anyone? Am wasting my time trying to make it work?

    It works now, but it was a bit of a mess for a bit.
    I turned off bookmark syncing on all devices but one, I exported my bookmarks to the desktop and deleted them from safari, thus deleting them from iCloud, I then added them back from the desktop. On my other devices I deleted all my bookmarks, turned bookmark syncing back on and chose to merge.

  • My MAC mini looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shut down.  I have to re select the network when restarting or waking the computer up.  I think this just started with Lion.  My iPod and iPad  have no trouble.

    My MAC MINI looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shuts down.  I have to re select the network when re starting or waking up the computer.  I think this just started with LION.  My iPod and iPad have no problem remembering the wireless network.

    Thank you BGreg.  That is what I have been doing, and then it works just fine.  I think it was doing the same thing in the previous version of Lion.  I may be incorrect about that.  I upgraded to 10.7.3 a few weeks ago, and then last week I reloaded the combo update, hoping it would help.  Not so.  Thank you for letting me know it is a common problem.  I have tried permissions in Disk Utilities, and in Macaroni, both at least 4 times, plus numerous restarts.  Nothing Improves.  It still can not find the internet when it wakes up or gets up.

  • Lion mountain newest update :I loos the internet connection, but the network shows connected. And IPhone, IPad stay connected and work. Only the MacBook Pro , which worked perfectly before with Lion unless I updated to Mountain. I have tried everything.

    I have a MacBook Pro, Early 2011, 2 GHz Intel Core i7 which I udated some days ago with Lion Mountain 10.8.2. Before it worked just perfect. Now, since the update,  I loos the internet connection after a wile, (at the beginning every 20 sec, now up to 4 hours) even that the sign of the WiFi network connection shows to be perfectly connected.
    My other divices like IPhone, IPad stay connected and work. The rooter is new and cannot be the problem. I tried nearly everything I found on the bloggs, but nothing helped actually. It must be a softwear problem on Lion Mountain, what can I do?
    Thanks for any help

    I FINALLY SOLVED THIS ISSUE!!!!
    New routers have "mixed" modes for your network; this means that it will automatically choose the best option between wireless-B, wireless-G and wireless-N network modes. I used to experience this issue using the 2.4 GHz. mixed mode wireless network.
    Thankfully, my router can create 2 networks: a 2.4 GHz. network and a 5 GHz. network.
    When I randomly changed this value to "use only wireless-B and wireless-G" trying to fix an issue with a wi-fi expander, the iMac wi-fi  issue dissapeared! I tried it with wireless-N only, but it didn't work.
    So, finally, I have a 2.4 GHz network with only wireless-B and wireless-G modes which works PERFECT with the iMac, and a 5 GHz. network with a mixed* wireless mode for everything else mode.
    *PD: by "mixed" mode it means that the router will automatically choose between B, G and N network modes as it fits better.

  • Why won't my iPad connect wirelessly to all my iMac apps on Lion?

    So I've been having an issue that I can't seems to find the answers to in any forums or in any articles online. I've got both an iPad 2 and a brand new iMac with lion 10.7.3.
    Everything is up to date, but here's the problem, I can access some things like VNC, iTunes remote, and accessing the iTunes Library via sharing, however, I can't seem to access, any MIDI controls in my Audio MIDI Setup, nor can I access my docs to go.
    I've tried remedying all the issues that have come up via the iMac wifi issues that have plagued a lot of other iMacs. The iPad occasionally appears in the MIDI window, but when I attempt to connect, it tells me it can't and to check the address again.
    I'm able to still connect with all of the applications with my old MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, but haven't managed to make to correct connections with my iMac.
    Any ideas? It's really starting to frustrate me.
    Thanks for any help!

    How to connect Apple TV with iPad ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

    When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via the minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

    Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
    The solution was as follows for me anyway...
    Go to your Finder
    Choose the Go Menu
    Choose Computer
    Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
    Choose your "Library" Folder
    Choose the "Preferences" Folder
    There should be a folder called "Audio"
    Move that whole folder to the trash
    Empty the Trash
    Restart from the Apple Menu
    When you are back up and running;
         Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
         Choose Sound
          In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
          Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

    BOB we need you urgently
    Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
    You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
    All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
    Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
    Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
    All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
    Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
    I want to test 2 other things:
    1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
    2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

  • How do I get Mac Pro with Lion Server to restart at a set time when users are connected?

    I have recently configured a Mac Pro with Lion Server, and have set it to restart automatically every morning at 3am. When I arrive in the morning, I notice that it has not rebooted, usually because it states there are users connected. Is there a way to automatically disconnect users so that the machine will reboot.  No one is ACTIVELY connected at this time of the morning, but may still be logged in somewhere. I did see where I can log out users after a set period of time when using Workgroup Manager to manage a computer or computer group, but I don't use the server to manage all of the computers that have users log in.
    Thanks!

    Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be each and every night, but it was for the sole purpose of preventing sluggishness. We had it set up before, as Snow Leopard Server and it would restart every night. It would occasionally be slow and need rebooting, however a manual reboot was not possible by most people in the store as they did not have credentials to screen share and restart it - which would result in holding down the power button to shut it down.
    The server is used for the sole purpose of logging in about 50 users just so they can customize their experience, as well as saving items to their own home folders.  The store is closed during the night, and there is no reason anyone would be accessing it during the night.
