IPad connection to iMac
I recently purchased an iPad and successfully connected it to my iMac webserver page.
Now, 9 days later, there is no connection available to my iMac webserver page from anywhere on the web (apart from my own browser, through 'local'), even though Appache is ON.
I notice that when I open 'Terminal' on my iMac, I am logged on as an iPad user whenever I am connected to the internet, but when I disconnect from the internet, Terminal reverts to logging me on as an iMac user.
Obviously, someone connected my iPad to the iMac as a unified device and that is preventing my iMac from serving webpages. Was this part of the Apple registration process (I registered the iPad using the same account as my iMac)? If so, how to I undo that unification of devices, and also, for what reason was that done? If it wasn't part of the registration process, how did that unification happen, and how to fix it so that my iMac can serve pages to the web again?
Thank You.
P.S. I've checked my internet service provider hub configuration and device list. There is a list of empty 192.168 addresses (I guess those are local addresses that are open for use on my intranet hub?) but one device, my iMac, is listed with my iMac address as an IPv4 Address, but with /Name as my i-pad. The MAC address for the same 'device' is listed as the WiFi address of the iPad.
Is it my internet service provider that has created this linking of the iMac and iPad, thereby preventing my iMac from serving pages to the web, or was it apple that linked the devices through the registration process? In any case, how do I resolve this issue, through apple, the ISP, or through my own settings and configurations?

HT1430 iPad connected to iMac, shows 'Disconnected' while Backing-Up
When backing-up my iPad2 to iMac, alert shows unable to complete because the iPad has disconnected.
I tried suggestions in 'iPad Support/Help' section and none of the suggested items worked.
I'm still looking for help in resolving this issue.
<E-mail Edited by Host>It almost seems to me that there might be some sort of problem with the backup itself.
I had a corrupt book download the other day - at least I think it was corrupt as it was the only new item that had been added to my iPad - and I could not get the backup to complete. I deleted the book and then the backup and sync went fine. However, the odd thing is that I downloaded the book again and it would not transfer into iTunes on my Mac. When I synced the iPad - it was still in iBooks, but not appearing in my iTunes library. It should not work that way at all and I still can't figure it out.
I share this story with you simply to illustrate that corrupt downloads, corrupt backups .... Can cause wierd issues when backing up and syncing. Have you downloaded anything recently that has given you problems? An app that crashes with frequency? Anything like that?
Which way are you syncing? Cable or WiFi? -
Remote App on iPad connects but drops after about 20 mins. Need to turn off wait about 1 minute, then turn on wifi on iMac before it can reconnect. Need some help please.

I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now. -
How do i get a wifi connection at home for my ipad from a imac
how do i get a wifi connection at home for my ipad from a imac
If you have a wired connection to the iMac and you are asking about using the iMac for the Internet connection for the iPad, you will need to use Internet Sharing on the Mac.
No clue which OS version you run on the Mac, but here is a link to help with 10.6 and this will get you started. You can Google " Internet sharing with Mac OS ...." and come up with a number of support articles.

When I connect my iPad to my iMac I get a repetitive flashing error message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." iPhoto eventually launches but iTunes will not launch iTunes. iPad will not charge. Restarted iMac and rebooted iPad and no difference.

My wife received a new iPad Mini for Christmas-- when connected to iMac, icon appears in iPhoto sidebar; however, there appears to be no option to "unmount." Also, unlike my iPhone 4S whose icon appears in iTunes sidebar, the Mini does not. Any insights?
First open iTunes (version 11). Then connect the iPad. Now is it recognized?
If not .............

My wireless keyboard no longer connects with my iMac since changing the batteries. It now shows as not connected, not paired and not configured. A friend recently connected his iPad to the iMac and since then the problem started. Any ideas to resolve this?
a friend told me that he wants my os x cd for my macbook pro to upgrade his imac.
The discs that come with your Mac are "machine specfic" and cannot be used on another Mac. -
I connected my iPad to my iMac and in iTunes I went to Apps > File Sharing and added a video on my iMac to iPhoto on the iPad.
I cannot find the video that I added to the iPad. I looked in iPhoto and the camera roll. Any ideas? (BTW, this is a video which I previously had on the iPad but deleted and now I want to add it back.)Thanks for your reply. I looked in the Video app but it is empty. When I connect the iPad to iTunes on the iMac and look in Apps > File Sharing > iPhoto, the video that I added is in iPhoto on the iPad but I cannot actually find the video in iPhoto on the iPad.

Ok, tried message boards everywhere to try and figure this out before having to post a question. Have a 21.5" iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After updates no wireless capability for ipad or laptop, imac connects fine but nothing else. No dashboard widgets work, Skype won't work. What goes?
Your post is pretty lengthy and I have to admit I didn't read it all. Please try restarting in Safe Mode, if that doesn't work please do both a SMC and PRAM reset. These may take 2-3 attempts.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -

Why does iPhoto open when I connect my iPhone and iPad to my iMac?
Whenever I connect my iPhone or iPad to my iMac, iPhoto opens. This started within the last week or two. Any suggestions? Are there some Preferences I can change to stop this? Thank you.
Take a look at this article and note the section about disabling iPhoto for certain devices. Maybe that will help.

I have been using Apple technology for about 10 years starting with 1st generation iPods and our house now includes a 5 year old iMac, all versions of iPods and touches, Apple TVs (both generations) and most recently an iPad 2. I have always told family and friends that Apple technology just works. Unfortunately that stopped today. I bought a new Airport Express 802.11n to use for AirTunes around my new pool. I set it up from my iMac and accidentally used it to connect my iMac to the network for a short time. Now I can no longer connect the iMac to the network using a hard wired Ethernet cable. I have tried resetting everything possible, from hubs to routers to the Mac itself and it just will not connect to the network through Ethernet any longer. I am now a very frustrated Apple user especially when the support site says I can't use the fast path support because my product was manufactured 5 years ago...I just bought it at BestBuy yesterday. All other computers and itechnology in the house are connecting via wifi and Ethernet without any issue except from my new iMac boat anchor. Anybody who can help me??? Thanks
John, thanks for the email so quickly.
I too hope I haven't tried "everything" either but I am reasonably technical. I had done what you suggested to do before but I did both again.
Ethernet is yellow in the left side bar. In the right pane it's status says Connected but then below it says "Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
I have tried the assist me menu and Network Status has Ethernet Green, Network settings Yellow, ISP Green, and Internet and Server Red and Failed for both. I have turned things off and on, checked cables, deleted all locations and tried restting them up but to no avail. I even disconnected everything and connected the mac directly into the cable modem itself and the thing still will not connect.

IPad connects to free WiFi Hotspots, but NOT on my home WiFi network
First, let me say that I have my iMac and a PC laptop working on my home WiFi network with no problems. My iPad connected to my home WiFi network for several months until about a week ago or so, somewhere around the time that I updated my iPad to OS 4.3.3.
In the General settings section I have reset the NETWORK setting several times to no avail. I changed my network SSID twice, and changed my WAP2 password 3 times. My iMac and PC laptop worked like a charm for each change. But, like I said, my iPad has no issues connecting to free WiFi hotspots like at coffee shops, but "cannot join my Clearwire WiFi network" at home.
My guess is that I have an OS issue, but if anybody knows anything better, please let me know.
Thank you.I think the OS issue is with the password because free WiFi hotspots don't require passwords. So, all of my RF circuits are fine. My password is correct because when I changed it in the Clearwire WiMax modem\router, I was able to connect with the new password on my iMac and PC laptop with no problems.
I have a 3 month old Clearwire 4G modem\router. My iPad worked great from the day I installed it. It stopped working around the time that I updated my iPad OS to 4.3.3.
I am hoping that there is an OS fix because I had Clearwire on the phone for over an hour and we re-booted the modem\router several times and reset it to its default values. Again, I have no problems connecting with my iMac or PC laptop. They work like a charm, just like my iPad used to. -
