Linksys SLM2005 Switch and Apple Computers HELP!!

I have a MBP 17 inch, MB 13 Inch and and ATV. I have a Linksys SLM2005 Switch. When ever I plug in an apple computer into the switch, it keeps telling me that a cable is disconnected and the port light on the switch will not light up. I can take the same cable to a PC or any other device that is not an apple product, and it will work just fine, lighting up a light and allowing access into the switch.
Can anyone tell me what is going on here?? Why will my Macs not work, I have tried to manually set the ip address as well, to no avail. just keeps acting as though there is nothing connected. I have tried all resets as well. Any help here would be great.
Thanks

What are you using the switch for?

Cisco Switching and Apple Computers

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with running Macs' on their Cisco networking equipment. It seems to only be one generation of IMacs' that disable ports on our switches. I do realize many variables may have a role in disabling port settings but it's only a chosen few that it happens with. Not having the authority to program each port being disabled to run in full duplex mode versus default settings from manufacturing in auto-negotiate I'm at a loss. Even after explaining the solution, nothing gets done. My question is could someone post some documentation of some sort backing up my theories? Also if anyone could please include anything about proper port settings for access points on our VLANs that also become disabled at times. I do know through research done that all access points should be classified as such on the network. Am I correct in stating this also? I thank you in advance for any information or help you may provide for me and posts will be rated.

What are the problems associated with Minecraft game and Apple computers

What are the problems with Minecraft game and Apple computers. I've read that the two are incompatible.

You have a very limited amount of time before night falls and the monsters might come out. You have to HOLD DOWN the mouse button to hit things to change them. Hit the earth to dig a cave. Hit a tree repeatedly to get wood.
A two button mouse is superior, because a lot of actions require a left click. <-- OH That is why they say it is not compatible!
It is compatible, you just need to left click sometimes!

WRT 300v1 and apple computers

OK, Just bought the new WRT 300vl wireless broadband router.
I accessed the router through a direct ethernet connection the web base way.
Tried to set up the router using the url way but am getting no
where, it acknowledges that I am conversing with the router on settings, but when I try to connect to the internet my powerbook says I am not connected. I am using safari, but I read in some help section that I must use Microsoft internet explorer in order for this router to be set up properly?
Does Linksys have a setup/help guide for apple computers using OSX?
It says on one pdf that it is compatible with MacIntosh computers
but really,
when did Apple last produced a Macintosh?
I have an apple powerbook not a Macintosh powerbook.
Should I take this router back to the store and find
a wireless N router brand that is more compatible with
Apple computers?
I am sorta in a fix because my old wireless
hub went out and I also rely on my VOIP phone to communicate.
I am currently using a neighbors computer to relay this message.
help and
Thanks.

All faqs and knowledge base articles from linksys are on the linksys support pages. There should be something for macos, too, I guess.
I wouldn't worry about the naming "Macintosh". Apple changed the names so often you'll find the weirdest things those requirement sections at times. The router will work fine with a computer running macos. I had never problems running my iMac through a RV042 or WRT54G, wired or wireless.
To figure out what the exact problem is: could you please check the Status tab on the router configuration? Post the status output please. Also, if it is unconnected there, press the connect button and post the exact error message you get if you get one.
If you are connected on the Status page, please also try a ping command in a "Terminal" window. Lookup the gateway and DNS server ip addresses on the status page. Then ping those ip addresses, e.g.,
ping 123.234.211.121
Post if it succeeds or the exact error message if not.

Iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode, sleep button not working and Apple not helping

Hey Apple Community,
My iPhone 4 has been caused me a lot of frustration in the past week and after getting rejected from Apple Customer Service I did not know where else to turn. Sometime in January my iPhone 4's sleep/wake button stopped responding (it seemed to have gotten stuck) and in my initial call to Apple I was told there was nothing they could do for me even though I was within the 1 year warranty. I figured I could live without locking my phone, it wasn't that big of a deal to me so I simply ignored it.
However, just a few days ago my home button started being less responsive and this was clearly something I could not manage without. It was acting odd, sometimes it would work on the first try and sometimes it wouldn't do anything even after 4-5 tries. The worst part was it would automatically go to voice control even when it was sitting in my pocket. This of course caused me quite a lot of embarrassment since voice control would activate in the middle of my lectures sounding a chime and would dial a random person's number and I would open my phone to hearing someone calling my name. No fun indeed. I called apple about it last week and the nice agent told me that he had waved some sort of a fee to talk to me, I did not know I was required to pay to recieve basic customer support. He also said since I was over the one-year warranty by 7 days and because I do not have an Apple Care plan there was nothing he could do for me besides offering me a refurbished iPhone 4 for $150 as a replacement. I said thanks for the offer but that isn't exactly solving my problem. Since Apple comes out with a new phone every year and being an Apple geek I stay current with the new technology - the Apple care plan just doesn't suit me. I protect my phone in the best of cases and I have never damaged a product due to negligence, I'm not a kid anymore so I don't need to insure my products for my own stupidity.
Well just in the past few hours the demon iPhone went from making random calls to showing me a "Connect to iTunes" logo. I figured it had to be reset due to some software probelm (which meant I might not have to fork out $$$ to get the home button fixed), I gladly connected it to my laptop and now it wont seem to leave recovery mode. I have tried numerous times and it seems to complete recovery and then tell me to connect to itunes again. At this point I feel like I have lost my phone (and everything precious I had stored in it).
Of course as a business professional this is quite a set back. All my contacts, all my pictures and scans of products and documents and even the little notes that I kept on there to help me function - all gone. I haven't called Apple yet but since they were unable to help me before I am assuming there isn't much they can do now. I do not want to pay $29.99 to be able to talk to someone who will tell me I am out of luck. I am about 130 miles from the nearest Apple store so the Genius bar is out of the window. So in a last attempt to salvage this expensive piece of technology I turn to you Apple Community for suggestions. I was not able to find an email address for customer service or any method of communication to someone who could just hear me out and give me a reasonable excuse for why Apple cannot do anything for me. I always heard about the great customer service of Apple but I am surprised to see a product fail before my eyes and the manufacturer simply refusing to accept responsibility; all because I am 7 days too late. If I had dropped it or damage it through some programming experiments then I understand Apple refusing to do anything but this case is very disappointing.
I would sincerely appreciate any advice and apologize for writing a novel here, I wanted to present my case in the fullest of details.
- Raza

I had the same issue (stuck in "Connect to iTunes" logo mode) and looked around for a resolution. I didn't find an answer posted anywhere. I ended up holding down the power button and the home button for about 20 seconds before it finally came back and said I had to restore it. Once restored, everything is fine.
My problem was caused when I accidentally closed the iTunes window when I was updating the software (I meant to turn off the volume as a song was playing, but clicked on the window close button instead of the pause button). I tried holding both buttons for the recommended 10 seconds several times and it didn't clear the problem. Holding both buttons for a longer period of time did the trick for me.
I hope this post is useful to others.

ITUNES,iPHOTO and Apple TV HELP

I am trying to sync my photo library on my Mac to Apple TV. While in Itunes, I select Apple TV, click on photos and then "choose folder". The problem is that my "iphoto" file, where my pictures are, is grayed out.
How do I select the file of my choice or how do I get my iphoto file not grayed out. How does itunes select by default, the proper picture file.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Brad

*The later. I use the "Choose Folder"option. When I navigate to the libray, it is grayed out so I cannot select.*
I do not know what libray itunes is choosing by default. The album listy displayed is not the one I want to use. Since Iphoto does not have a "save as" feature, I cannot determine what library iphoto saves to. Very strange and a departure from normal file management(editorial).
I have put a photo library, one that I know id the correct libray, on drive 1. When I go there, it is grayed out.

Use of a NAS Drive, iTunes, Movies and Apple TV - Help please

I have an IMAC and i have a number of movies stored there within Itunes.
My Mac is operated in a Wireless Environment and when using Apple TV sometimes the IMAC cannot be located despite home sharing being on both devices and when it can be located and I watch a movie that is stored there sometimes the signal drops off which interrupts the movie.
The Apple TV is connected in a wired environment.
SOmeone has suggested that I should move my Itunes library music and movies to a NAS drive and connect that to my router which is hard wired,
Suggestions help and guidance welcomed

Update: I've found a work-around that lets me watch the movies, although it disables the iTunes Extras content (but it's not deleted).
While looking through the files for the Extras content, I noticed that for the two films I've had trouble with (X-Men Origins and Twilight), the Extras content was located in a separate folder from the actual mp4 movie files. For all my other movies that have the Extras content (and that were working), the content was in the folder with the movie. I tried moving the content into the movie folders, but that didn't help. Eventually, I removed the extras content from my iTunes library, without actually deleting it.
This caused the Apple TV to pick up the movies as if they were by themselves without the Extra features, and allows me to play them directly without going through the Extras menu. Something about the way that the Extras content was downloaded and associated with the movies seems to have gone wrong with those two movies, whereas for the others it worked correctly.
This is obviously not a long-term solution if you want to watch the Extra content, but at least this way the movie is streaming correctly on the ATV.
PS: for those two movies I mentioned above, the Extras content was listed separate from the movie itself in the iTunes library; whereas for the correctly functioning movies with Extras, the content was listed as another "track" under the movie.

170 iPads, Apple Configurator and Apple ID - HELP!

Hey Guys,
so i work for a school and i have 170 iPads that need to be deployed. we are using apple configurator and supervising the devices.
Everything has gone great for 23 that i have already done and handed out to teachers etc, except for the minor problem of updating the applications.
When they go to the update the apps it asks for an apple ID and passowrd, at this point in time its asking for my Boss' Apple ID password. Is there anyway of stopping this or will i have to get the teachers to input there own apple IDs on startup of the device?
Thanks for all your help.

This happens more often then not lately and I am not sure why. But this is what you can do to fix it after it happens.
Do you have tens - or even thousands- of apps trying to download? You
need the account’s “queue” deleted by Apple.
1.       Navigate to: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
2.      Click on "Contact iTunes Store support"
3.      Choose "Connecting and Downloading"
4.     Select "The topic is not listed" and enter the subject "Download
Queue" and continue.
5.      On the next page choose to email support.
6.     Create a message that says something such as:
"I redeemed codes using Apple ID [email protected] & iTunes is
trying to download hundreds of copies of the same app. Please clear out
my download queue."
7.      Wait for a response from Apple.
8.     ****After the queue is deleted, be sure to delete the computer’s
trash. All the extra app copies will fill the MacBook Air’s storage.****

Icloud and Apple Id help!!

Hi,
I'm new on here and just need some help!!
I have had an iPhone for a few years now and have recently upgraded. I want to re set my old iPhone so my other half can use it. I have never had any problem before now. I am being asked for my i cloud id which I obviously set up but now it says the information is wrong.
When I go to reset it its asking for my apple id which I input but says its not an iCloud id but it was originally asking for the iCloud id.
I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question and a long winded one but can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong???
Thank you.

Hi Ingrid,
When you say you changed it, do you mean you went to Manage your Apple ID and changed the email address that was being used for your Apple ID? If so, then do the following:
1.     Log on with your current Apple ID to Manage your Apple ID and change the Apple ID back to the old email address (the one that is showing on your devices). This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, and do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to your devices to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the Delete button to delete the old iCloud account. Type in your current password when prompted, then follow the prompts to delete the account.
3.     Once the iCloud account has been deleted on all of the devices this way, go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to your current Apple ID. You may need to verify it again.
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud on your devices and sign into iCloud with your current Apple ID.
You should be all set then!
Cheers,
GB

My ipod classic has the red x and apple cant help me

I have a classic 80gb ipod. I disconnected it from player and reset it because it wasn't working right. Once i reset it, the x came up. I reset it multiple times and nothing worked. I looked online for solutions and all that came up was hit it until the disk realigns for the hard drive or just restore it. I brought it to my local apple store and they told me what they tell everyone else, "we can trade it in for a refurbished one or give you ten percent for it." Well i went home and tampered with it and managed to get the red x to go away and it showed a picture of the connection cable and it said connect to restore. Once connected to the computer, it registered there was a device connected was unable to do anything with it from there. Once connected from there, it showed the old connection screen where its not fancy and is in black and white. I disconnected it, reset it, and repeated everything over. After another hour of messing with it, i managed to get it to the menu of the ipod and had to choose the language and everything over again, but the first letter in every word on my ipod was missing for some reason. Since it had the menu I figured i could have the computer pick it up and it did, but it showed I had 11kb of memory left and the hard drive was corrupt. From there I restored the ipod, let it update the software, and then it had to reboot. Once it reboot itself the red x was back again. Obviously the hard drive is still readable otherwise the main menu would not have come up. Whats going on?

i have this problem too. nothing i do works to get rid of the red X. someone help us!!! ive only had mine 9 months

Palm devices and Apple computers

I was thinking about getting a palm T5 and I was wondering how well palm devices work with macs. Does the iCal sync ok and everything else (i know there is a palm desktop version for mac but i do not want to use that, i like ical to much) so does iCal sync fine and how about other apps, can they sync with my palm, Mail? Address book? etc....
Thank you,
TM

Thanks, Wade. I didn't know that.
I've actually already installed the Palm Desktop software, so does this mean I'm good to go?
I realize this sounds pretty clueless, but I must confess that's how I am when it comes to this new phone/pda. I've also never used iSync before. In fact, until you mentioned it, I didn't even know it was installed.
I just opened iSync for the first time and tried to sync up with my Treo via bluetooth, and it found the device (very cool!) but was unable to sync. I got a message saying "iSync can not connect to this device."
When I tried to pair the device using the bluetooth setup assistant, it found the device, but all the boxes were grayed out and it said that "there were no supported services found on your mobile pphone."
Any idea what I'm doing wrong.

Does linksys work on Mac (Apple) Computers?

If not, what would be my best option to get my Mac hooked up to the internet?

Linksys router as most other routers work fine with any kind of ethernet device in the LAN. I have never used the supplied software on the CD as I don't like the idea of having some program messing up my network configuration. I always configure the router through the web interface which is not too hard to do if you know the settings required for your ISP.

Using Catalyst 3550 Switch with Linksys Home Router and Cable Internet

I've about pulled what little hair I have out of my head on this one, and need some configuration help.
I have a Cisco Catalyst 3550 switch with five Windows 7 desktops, an Avaya PBX and five Avaya IP phones attached. All of these devices are on a 192.168.0.0/24 subnet, and are communicating properly. I will refer to this as network # 1. I also have SEPARATE network, we'll call network # 2, using AT&T ADSL service and a Netgear 4-port/wireless router/ADSL modem combo device, which is functioning properly with a couple of other Windows 7 desktops over its own wired Ethernet network, using DHCP, and also on a 192.168.0.0/24 subnet. I thought it would be a simple integration, just plugging one of the 3550's ports to one of the DSL router's ports, in order to give the five Windows 7 desktop computers on network # 1 internet access via the DSL modem. Guess I was wrong. When I connect the two switches together, although I get a good connectivity (green lights on both ports) and am able to ping the DSL router's gateway address (192.168.0.252) from network # 1's computers, the computers on network # 1 cannot access the internet. Also, the working computers on network # 2 lose their internet access as long as the two switches are connected together. I am not a Cisco guru, but there's got to be a way to make this scenario work. Can someone provide me with a 3550 configuration that will allow me to extend my internet service from network # 2 on the DSL router to my 3550 switch and their computers? Here's what I am looking for:
INTERNET ---> ADSL MODEM ---> NETGEAR ROUTER ---> CISCO 3550 SWITCH ---> NETWORK DEVICES WITH INTERNET ACCESS

The Netgear router is probably what's doing the natting. Is the 3550 configured for routing or is it straight L2? If you have the 3550 configured as L3, then it's going to be easy to do what you want. Just add a static route on the Netgear to point the subnet that it doesn't know about to the 3550. For example, if the Netgear is addressed at 192.168.1.1 and the Cisco 3550 is addressed at 192.168.1.2, but it also knows about the 192.168.0.0/24 (separate vlan), then you would put a static route on your Netgear for 192.168.0.0/24 to go to 192.168.1.2.
The way that I would do it is to create a separate vlan on the 3550 and assign an address to it. Once you do that, make the port that the other switch connects to an access port of that vlan. (It would need to be on the same subnet as the existing equipment.) All of your devices would use it as a default gateway and then you would do the rest as above. You could also use RIP between the Netgear and Cisco if you can't do static routing.
HTH,
John
