Link DIR's in MAC

Greetings,
I'm not a wiz on code, but I try and I need some help please.
I'm building a hybrid CD to play on both PC & MAC and
some of my links will open a new Director movie located in a
subfolder.
When I publish for both PC & MAC it works fine on a PC,
but when I open the initial OSX file on the MAC machine, the links
to other Director OSX file won't open because the MAC is looking
for an OSX extension. .
Can I add anything to my code below which will open a
Director EXE file on a PC or a Director OSX file on a MAC?
on mouseUp me
global gDelimiter
myFolderName="vid"
myPDFName="instructions.exe"
myTempPath=_movie.path&myFolderName&gDelimiter&myPDFName
baOpenFile(myTempPath, "normal")
end
THANK YOU,
Bob

Hello Sean,
The bottom line is when I click on a button I want it to open
another director movie. When I build the link on the button, I'm
telling it to open the director movie instructions.exe, and that
works fine on a PC. The problem I'm running into is when I publish
the project for playing on both PC and MAC. The button with the
link is looking for the instructions.exe file and when played on a
Mac, the file is changed to instructions.osx, therefore the link
will not work as it's looking for the .exe extension not the .osx
extension you use for a MAC.
Is there a way you can include both the .exe and .osx
extenions within the lingo of the button or another way to do this?
I know the code I'm using now shows PDF, but it's just
something I copied and seems to work in a PC environment. As I
mentioned, I'm not a code wiz like most folks, so I'll copy
something from the forums, modify and test. If it works, I'll use
it.
I appreciate any help you can throw my way.
Thanks,
Bob

  • Photosmart D110a Wireless Troubleshooting with D-Link DIR-655 and Mac OSX 10.8

    Good evening all,
    Apologizes if this has already been posted. I've googled this issue a couple of times, but I still haven't found a solution for this problem.
    I have the Photosmart D110a and I'm running Mac OSX Mountain Lion, and my router is a D-Link DIR-655 and my security is WPA-Personal and the router is running in 802.11gn mode. My ISP is Optimum Online.
    The issue that I've been having is that the printer works wireless when everything has been recently booted up. As does the scanner. However, if it hasnt been used for a while, the printer shows up in the OSX Print & Scan settings page as idle, but when I try to print, the dialog just says "looking for printer" and never finds it, and just says "The printer is not connected" under the item in the OSX Print Queue. Because of this, I have to restart the computer or restart the printer for them to find each other again. 
    I've seen other solutions on here, such as giving the printer a static IP address, and this hasn't worked either. The printer is still accessible with the static IP address, which means it's still got a connection to my network, but for some reason the OS isn't recognizing it or something. 
    It's obvious that the printer works when everything is freshly rebooted, but I still haven't been able to figure out this issue once it's been idle for a while.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi,
    Try following my post below, I believe it might be relevant as the router drops the Bonjour connection:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/losing-connection-to-airprint-a-few-min...
    I would also suggest updating your router's firmware and check if that may help:

  • How to configure home network with Airport Extreme + D-Link DIR-665

    *hello everyone,*
    *I had these two working fine together until the D-Link took a dump the other day. No explanation. Just stopped working until I reconfigured everything.*
    *Which then led to my Airport Extreme being unable to connect to the network at all, much less the internet...*
    *My home network is set up like this:*
    *Optimum Cable*
    *Motorola Surfboard modem --> D-Link DIR-655 (via ethernet)*
    *- Provides wifi and ethernet connections on one side of my house*
    *DIR-655 --> Airport Extreme (via ethernet run to other side of house)*
    *- Provides wifi and ethernet connections on the other side of my house*
    *My MBP won't connect to anything other than my AE running N, so I have that set up primarily for my MBP over wifi, while feeding an ethernet connection to a Netgear router running B/G, for my iPhone and other devices.*
    **So here are the relative details:**
    *I decided to start fresh and do a factory default configuration with my Airport Extreme. My working system from earlier was essentially it's own wifi network, but the airport utility 'insists' that I need to run my AE in bridge mode. I've tried that, but I can't get online. I can see my shared connections, so something's getting through, but I cannot connect to them, in addition to being unable to get online.*
    *I'm not really sure how to best illustrate this problem, so I've ran through the process again and jotted down a few notes. Excuse the rambling nature of my narrative, this is a 'blow by blow' account of the Airport Utility setup process:*
    Airport version 7.4.2
    IP address 192.168.0.192
    router address: 192.168.0.2
    Configuring over Airport connection.
    - I want AE to join my current network
    -.. connect AE to my network using ethernet to extend or create second network
    - select device AE will connect to using ethernet - DIR-655 network (displayed w/ airport icon?)
    - create an additional network (through ethernet)
    AE updates..
    - problem 1 of 1 : unsecured wireless network
    wpa wpa2
    Bridge mode or share a single IP address using DHCP
    selected bridge mode
    results: AE has green light, airport utility is satisfied but no connection to network is possible. Shared connections are visible, but unable to access
    next try:
    manual setup
    Wireless mode: create wireless network
    radio mode: 802.11n only (5 GHz)
    channel: auto
    wireless security: WPA2 personal
    (bridge mode still active)
    (this is the exact setup that worked for years before..)
    updated…
    AE light is green, but no connection to internet or shared connections (though visible)
    back to airport utility
    manual setup:

    chose 'assist me'
    (now one shared connection to Mac Mini becomes active? Had selected it earlier. Able to browse folders, but not share screen)
    AE refreshed now with amber light, with reported problems
    Problem 1 of 2: Internet Connection
    Your Apple Wireless device does not have a valid IP address. Make sure your Apple wireless device is connected to your broadband modem or local network… etc
    - changed IP address to match router IP address (?) Utility goes on to next problem
    Problem 2 of 2: Conflicting DHCP Range
    This Apple wireless device rejected a DHCP address in the same subnet as its internal DHCP server. You should probably switch your Apple wireless device to be in bridge mode. If you still want to be using DHCP and NAT to share a single IP address, you should change your DHCP range.
    - maintain selection: share a single IP address using DHCP and NAT (utility forces you to: ignore; skip; or select bridge mode - which doesn't work..)
    - chose 'skip' for problem 2
    - updated AE..
    New problem:
    Problem 1 of 1: Double NAT
    This Apple wireless device has a private IP address on its Ethernet WAN port. It is connected to a device or network that is using Network Address Translation (NAT) to provide private IP addresses. you should change you Apple wireless device from using DHCP and NAT to bridge mode.
    - selected Bridge Mode
    updated AE…
    "Setup Complete!"
    Unable to connect.
    ** At this point, I am still able to see my shared connections, and while iTunes is open, I can play my shared library that is on my Mac Pro, which connected to the DIR-665 via ethernet, through yet another D-Link router (DIR-615)! I am still connected to the Airport Extreme via wireless, so the system is working, to an extent.*
    *So I'm not sure what to do. How can I remedy my IP address issue? Bridge mode doesn't work (as far as I've experienced), so I'm struggling with my DHCP settings..*
    *Thanks to anyone who has any suggestions!*

    Hi Preston,
    I would recommend not starting the numbering scheme for the IP addresses using a '0'. Yes the range is 0-255, but some numbers are reserved, and not generally good practice.
    Also, assuming you have reset all factory defaults, start anew and have the modem --> router using NAT for dynamic IP addresses --> (other side of the house) Airport Extreme --> not a NAT configuration, but you need a simple switch. Do not use the NAT capabilities on this one. Maybe, just maybe the computer will work now. This will eliminate your double NAT and also help (hopefully) with the D-Link.
    Sorry I cannot help more, I do not own any of the products you talk about, however I have networking experience. Hope it helps.

  • D-Link DIR-615/Macbook detecting but not connecting

    This is my first post on the forum.
    So I went on a vacation back in January for about a week, but during that week I unplugged my D-Link DIR-615 Wireless N router and modem (Toshiba, Time Warner), just so I wouldn't have people attempting to connect to it for any reason by any means. Fair enuf, right?
    I get home, connect the mac, modem, router. Airport will detect the network, but will not "transmit" the internet, won't pull up any webpages.
    Any ideas? I've checked the through some of the other posts, but it's kind of hit and miss.

    This is because your Mac is connecting to your router but is failing to obtain an IP address via DHCP.
    Is your Mac still set up to obtain an address automatically via DHCP?
    If so, try the following sequence:
    1) Disconnect from your D-Link
    2) Power off the cable modem and router.
    3) Power on the cable modem and wait until its status lights indiciate it is connected to its network.
    4) Power on the D-Link and wait until its status lights state it is connected.
    5) Try to reconnect to the D-Link on your Mac.

  • D-Link DIR-615 cannot access wirelessly with iPhone 3G

    I've added another router to my home to get better range in the far corners of the house. I added a D-Link DIR-615 hard wired to my first router. I can access this new router both by cable and wirelessly with my laptop, but not wirelessly with my iPhone.
    I've tried making the password all letters, (saw a post that said numbers don't work??) and even taking out the password and leaving it blank. The iPhone sees the router and identifies it by name. When I try connecting, after entering the password, it says "unable to connect to network". IO can connect to my first router with the iPhone.
    Any suggestions? I'm using WEP for encription, except when I tried it with no passwords! Thanks!

    A few ideas:
    Often the power on sequence is the determining factor in if/how DHCP will work. Especially when it comes to consumer-grade cable modems and routers. Try different power on sequences.
    Try to figure out if your cable modem is storing and enforcing the MAC address of one of your devices. Take the router out of the picture, attach your MBP, and see if it works. Then leave the modem on, unhook the MBP, and plug in a Windows laptop. If it doesn't work, then your modem wants/needs to only see one MAC address. If this is the case, look in your routers settings for "Spoof this computer's MAC Address" and you should be good to go.
    One trick I've used in the past is to assign an entirely new subnet for the router to hand out. For example if it used to give out 192.168.1.x, the new subnet would be set to 10.1.1.x. This forces every system and rebuild its caches. Too many times routers, controllers, OSes, apps, and even hardware like phones keep caches to help speed things up. It's not always obvious how to reset these. But by switching subnets you force every device to rebuild the caches.
    Good luck.

  • D-Link DIR-615 (Rev H1(!)) does not work with Airport Express?

    Hi there,
    I had my AirPlay working just fine with my Airport Express (AX) and my wireless N Router D-Link DIR-615 (Rev. B2). Now I changed my Internet provider and received a D-Link DIR-615 (Rev. H1) and I cannot find my AX anymore (I mean, it's still here, but the AirPort Utility cant find it!)
    Are there known issues between those two?
    (The Rev. H1/B2 is the Hardware Version of my D-Link DIR-615. The Firmware is up-to-date (8.01 I think))
    The status light is a solid, beautiful green.
    I already tried the following:
    - restart the AX, the D-Link and my MacBook (10.7.2)
    - changed from AES to TKIP (found that somewhere in the internet)
    - Reseted my AX to factory settings and configured everything new. (via Ethernet)
    Probably interesting:
    - After resetting to factory settings and configuring everything new, the AX showed up in iTunes, but when I tried to connect with it, it kept me waiting for 1-3 Minutes and simply did not connect w/o error message. The AX disappeared after restarting iTunes.
    I'm running out of solutions..
    Anyone a good question/suggestion or answer for me?
    greetings

    Only way I see out other than waiting, is to hook he Drive to a Mac, (FW preferable for speed), then get Tri-Backup...

  • D-Link DIR-625 & iPod Touch 1G

    Hey I just got a first generation iPod Touch, and updated it to software 3.0. The WiFi is working because it connects to other networks, but for some reason it won't connect to my own home wireless network. I have a D-Link DIR-625 Rev A with the latest firmware, and the iPod does detect the network, but refuses to connect to the router. There is no security features enabled, except for MAC address filtering. All the computers in the house work fine with the router. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks.

    Yep, I've turned off the DHCP server. Still no luck. When I do that, and check from the DIR-655 side, the DIR-625's IP isn't showing as being connected, and I can't browse the net from the DIR-625 side (the DIR-655 is connected to my cable modem).

  • D-Link Dir-615 internet problems

    Hi All, I am not posting this for help. I came across a problem and could not find any help on the net that would solve it. So this is to help anyone whom might have similar problems.
    First, let me give you the scenario. I have SBC DSL as my ISP and the 2Wire modem/router took a dump. I looked for a modem/router combo that was 802.11 (N) compliant. There are a few but the prices were a little above what I wanted to pay. So I ended up buying a DSL modem and a D-Link DIR-615. I set the modem to "Bridge Mode" and followed the set up instructions from D-Link. After the setup some web pages were stalling and timing out. I noticed this on HTTPS pages mostly but also pages on the Apple site too. I then went to Safari and used the "Activity Window" to show me why.
    Well the cure for this, which I have not been able to find anywhere on the net, was to "Disable" QoS on the DIR-615. After that...greased lightning speeds.
    Hope this helps anyone that might be suffering with the same problems.
    Cheers,
    Glynn

  • Problems re-connecting my PSP to Network, after updating to firmware 1.33NA on my D-Link DIR-655

    Post the link to your Router Model,  http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=530 
    And any other information you think is important if answering your own post, and the nature of the problem, itself.
    I have had a full functioning network with D-Link DIR655  hardware Rev A3 firmware rev 1.33NA,
    with 5 PC's Dell XPS 730x, Alienware m17x,  Studio 1747,Studio 1749(touchscreen) Studio, 14z all using Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit, and one Macbook Pro 17", Plus a Dell mini 9 hackintosh( I did purchase  Retail10.5.4  and I placed the Apple stickers over the Dell logo.[ also have a PS#, and PSP 3000 (both have latest Sony firmware updates.]
    All PC's with Win7 Pro x64,'s are connected using Network Magic Pro 5.5 pure-0, with the exception of the Macbook pro OS X 10.7 and hackintosh Mac X10.5.8  which both use the Mac version 4 network pro (Ver. for mac os x.) of which I bought a 3 pack, (To have them work with NWM 5.5 Pro, & share both files, and printers with the windows PC's)
    Everything was working great until I updated the firmware on my DIR-655 from 1.2NA to 1.33NA.
    Since then I have been unable to reconnect my PSP to the network. using  WPA 2 security, which is what I had before the firmware update. If it wasn't for the security additions, this firmware upgrade adds  to the router, I would have gone back to the previos version.
    Here is what I've done in attempts to fix, and then my final solution.
    In Network Magic 5.5, I have tried shutting off the network protection feature, and I also re-added the MAC Address, of the PSP to the Router's list of allowable hardware, when I added my list of all the others..
    The PSP will start the handshake with the router, and then pause at the getting IP address screen, and finally timeout.
    I is showing up on the Network Magic 5.5 Pro's Network Map area, which leads me to believe it is being seen and let in by the software's security feature.
    I also tried to manually add an IP address, for the PSP, using the IP addy, it always seems to grab via DHCP [192.168.7.172] only to have it timeout the same way as it did before, with DHCP
    As I needed Internet access to update the PSP and make purchases from the PSN, I decided to connect my older Linksys WRT54G (HW Ver 5) Ver.1.02.8 (I'm considering the DD-WRT firmware for all it's improvements) to the DIR-655 with a CAT 6 cable. Network magic see's this router, as I added it's MAC address to the D-Link MAC filter first.
    I was able to use WPA Security with this router and the PSP connected without any problem.
    I thought maybe something was wrong with the PSP-3000, but I'm able to connect to a friends Belkin router
    , using WPA 2
    I setup the WRT54G using the studio 14z, as it's the lightest of my portables, with windows on it.
    Should I add Network Magic 5.5 to the network that is my Router & PSP?
    [I have a older thinkpad, that runs Windows XP SP3, which has just been sitting around, and my NWM 5.5 
    license is for 8 PC's and 3 Macintosh Computers.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards in getting my network correctly secured once again,
    DakotaJoe

    I hate being the bearer of bad news, but from what I have read on the Forum and FAQ, you will need to un-install Network Magic from all of your computers making sure that no NM settings folders are left behind under users.  Then unplug all wired computers and rebuild your network by re-installing NM  in each computer before connecting it to your router.  After you have added all of your wired computers, set up your wireless network and install NM and add each wireless computer.
    That is a lot of work.  I hope this helps.

  • Wireless connection to D-Link DIR-655 router

    I just got a MBP and I can't connect wirelessly to my D-link router (WPA password protected; wired connection works great). Aiport sees the router, asks for the password which I enter, and then I get the message "the selected network uses and Access Control List.. and this computer is not on the list." I've tried to add the MBP to my network using the Network Magic process for adding new devices (which worked just fine to wirelessly connect my PC laptop from work), but it can't seem to find the MBP. I tried the steps suggested by iVmichael to someone having a similar problem April 5-6, and also tried disabling my network lock, but so far haven't found the magic combination. Suggestions?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   D-Link DIR-655 router
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I had a similar problem and I needed a second computer (B) using a wired connection to the router to allow the other one (A) in. This is what I did:
    1. Using the wired computer (B) I opened up the network so any computer could join the network wirelessly.
    2. I joined the network with (A) wirelessly.
    3. Once I had successfully joined the network with (A) I used the wired computer (B) to do a search for new computers so (A) could be registered in the Access Control List.
    4. Using (B) I closed the network again.
    5. Now I could join the network with (A) wirelessly without any trouble.

  • Setup D-Link DIR-655 router help

    Greetings,
    I'm trying to set up a D-Link Extreme Router (DIR-655) as the wireless router for my home. The setup wizard disc that came with the router doesn't appear to work on a Mac even though it says it's mac compatible on the box. I'm assuming I need to manually install the router which I have no idea how to do. My service provider is comcast and my modem is a scientific atlanta modem. I can connect to the internet by plugging Ethernet directly from the modem into my MBP. If anyone can point me in the right direction from here I'd really appreciate it.
    desperately missing wireless,
    JC

    I have the same router D-Link DIR 655 coming and here is what I am thinking...
    The CD is not for use with Mac, but finally on the net somewhere I found the answer to my question about plugging in and then immediately seeing the wireless connection, which I assume would be the case. Here is what I picture -- corrections welcome, as I will be doing this Monday. (I am way too spoiled using my iMac for a 'router' at home.. LOL it baffles the PC users... they can't find the router!)
    Unplug the modem from the power supply.
    Connect the Ethernet wire from the router to the modem.
    Power up the router by plugging it in.
    Power up the modem again by plugging it back in.
    Now you should be able to see the wifi connection with a wireless laptop.
    Type the default address 192.168.0.1 into FireFox and you should be able to skip to the Wireless configuration screen.
    I'm trying to read about it as much as I can before it arrives. The thing I will have to do is this is for a business office and I'm not sure if I can also have another wire plugged from a computer into the modem as well as the router...because it makes me think that setup would two IP addresses. (I did this at home for years until the cable company shut me off... said I had to pay extra for 5 connections I was using with my hub!) So that will be a question for me to try to figure out.
    Also, set the router on b and g not n, for the older cards, if you don't have the 'n' protocol.
    So other than testing what I can do with my connection which is wired into the wall for another port on the opposite side of the room, I think that is how to start.
    My first test will be to see if I can have the router connected on the opposite wall (because it will give a better shot for the signal to travel to the other rooms int he office) and have my laptop plugged in at the desk at the same time. The internet worked both from methods (plugged to the modem and plugged to the wall) but that was only one connection each time as I was alone doing this and only had a laptop with me.
    Ideally I want the computer to be at the desk, able to plug into the modem, and the router across the way for the others to use on WiFi.
    PS - the documentation was useless.. I am getting this info from reading other sources on the web....also be advised that you just plug in and get a WiFi connection I am going to assume it's 'open' and unless you are in a remote area at home, but in a building of other businesses like I am, you will need to password protect the wireless connection immediately.

  • MacBook Pro and D Link DIR-655

    I just upgraded from a MacBook to a MacBook Pro, and I'm having trouble connecting to my D Link DIR-655 via the airport. When I try to connect through the menu bar, the airport tries to connect and then times out. I can only get online if I connect through network diagnostics. Anyone know what the deal is? I haven't had this problem with any other wireless networks.

    Thanks for the feedback LilyLC. I too have gone through all of your steps and a host of others. Still with no luck. No problems at all with my Airport Express, but still no way to keep up a connection with my DIR-655 via WIFI N. I tried all of the steps with each firmware version too. I've given up at this point. I want the 2 months of my life back that I spent troubleshooting this mess. At least Apple could acknowledge this and say we are on it, and that it isn't only "in our heads."
    /begin rant/
    I think that Apple needs to do some re-evaluating of their software release schedule/quality control. At this point I would rather wait and have them get it right then put out subpar updates and fall into the downward spiral pattern of "the rest of them". My confidence has been shaken and I've been a mac fan since the beginning. I just want Apple to split off the iPod/Phone/TV etc. into its own division and to get back on track with the Mac line starting now. We need this stuff to work to make a living and this takes a higher priority in my mind than new twiddle apps on the iPhone.
    I do own two iPods and an iPhone but would chuck them in a river to get Leopard working solidly with the majors like Adobe, Extensis, Epson, as well as stable networking, syncing and backups. Apple really has their hands full at this point with a large list of bugs. I really wish them well but can't say I'm in the least bit happy as a consumer at this point. For the first time in a long time I feel sheepish when answering whether or not I'd recommend a Mac, and that hurts me deeply for some reason.

    This would be telling me that your G5's AirPort is NOT "seeing" the D-Link's wireless network as encrypted with WPA, but with WEP instead. This typically can be caused by either the D-Link's current configuration is incompatible with the AirPort card or that there is something amiss with the AirPort card itself.
    BTW, My D-Link has WEP, WAP-Personal and WAP-Enterprise
    Ok, we will want to stick with either WEP or WPA-Personal.
    We now have two choices: 1) Continue to troubleshoot additional configuration changes to the D-Link to try to get WPA to work with your G5, or 2) Switch to the lower strength encryption: WEP.
    Which would you prefer to try?

  • Setting up D-Link DIR-615 wireless N router with a macbook pro

    Hello all.
    I am trying to setup a D-Link DIR-615 wireless N router with my macbook pro. I got the router, opened it, put in the startup CD, and nothing works.
    I went to the D-Link site and it says that the CD is not compatible with mac's, but to look on pages 10-15 in the user manual ( on the CD), which I did and found nothing related to setting up the router on my mac.
    So I'm at the very beginning (putting in the initial CD) of setting this up, and wondering how to do it. Can anyone guide me through it or point me to a thread or online description of how it's done. I have very little computer background but I can pick it up decently when I have to, so please help as I will be very grateful. Thanks,
    Jonathan

    Unfortunately as with most routers it will be a manual affair that is quite involved. The first thing is to connect to the router over ethernet, so you should connect the cable supplied between the computer and the router and turn the router on. Go to System Preferences and open the Network panel, make sure the DCHP setting is automatic, you should have a connection if it is already on auto, there will be numbers in all the boxes when connected. In the documentation for the router you should find an IP address for the web interface along the lines of 192.168.0.1 (this seems to be the correct one for D-Link), open Safari (or another browser if you want)put this number in the address bar and press return. There will probably be a request for password at this stage, this will be in the documentation or on the bottom of the router, fill it in and you will get to the web interface. You should then be able to follow the instructions in the router documentation to set it up. It should be fairly easy through the basic setup procedure as long as you know your internet settings.
