Looking for PPoE hostq

Guys, I am running into the same problem as that reported by a few others. Have tried all solutions but to no avail. I was connecting fine till 24 hours ago. Turned on the PowerBook G4 this morning and have run smack into this problem with my Airport Express being unable to connect to the internet. I am able to connect just fine by hooking the Ethernet cable from the DSL modem into my Powerbook. The problem arises when I am connecting to the internet using my Airport Express Base Station - it simply is unable to connect and goes on and on about 'Looking for PPoE host'. I have tried everything suggested on these posts but am not having any success. Would downgrading some firmware solve the problem? if so, what version do I download to and where do I find the stuff to download to? Why is Apple not issuing a fix for this real irritating problem?

Guys, here is the solution to the problem: downgrade your Apple Expess Base Station firmware to 6.1.1 and the problem disappears. I just did that and the airport express is now able to connect to the internet.

Network settings looking for PPOE

I've been using Airport for a while and its been working great. Kept getting a message that the mac couldn't find a PPOE. Had been ignoring it until my upgrade to 10.5.6. Now its slowing things down.
Noticed the ethernet connection is still trying to connect even though Airport is already connected.
How can I stop the "built in ethernet" to stop trying to find the connection?

Open Network preferences. From the Tool icon menu at the bottom of the port list select Set Service Order. Move the Airport port to the top of the list. This should force that port to be used as the main port. Then remove your PPoE service if you aren't using one.

Looking for PPPoE host BUT connected to the Internet

Hi, so I have a home network that consists of a BritePort 8012-G1 which is set-up to connect to earthlink DSL using PPPoE with its login and password. The DSL modem is set in half-bridge mode (I am thinking of switching it to full bridge mode and authenticating with the airport extreme instead but that is really not my problem... if you have suggestions either way on this topic feel free to post in this thread but that is not the issue I want resolved) and passes ip and dns server information correctly to the airport extreme. The airport extreme is setup to share the internet connection using DHCP and NAT. There are 6 devices that connect to the airport extreme, 5 of which work perfectly. The ones that work are a Mac Pro running 10.5.4 connected through ethernet, a Macbook Pro running 10.5.4 connected through wifi, two iphones that connect using wifi when in the apartment and a nintendo wii also connecting through wifi. The last device, the one causing problems, is a macbook pro running 10.4.11 which is connecting through wifi.
The problem with this last computer is that when it connects to the airport extreme base station it continually says looking for PPPoE host in the menu bar. The strange thing is that the computer is connecting to the internet (you can browse the net and download stuff) even though it is showing the message. Even stranger is that in TCP/IP it doesn't show any DNS information (it should show the airport extreme). I had never had this happen before, but I recently changed the security settings on the airport from WPA/WAP2 to only have WAP2 so I thought that maybe by reversing it to the old setting the message would go away, but it didn't happen. You may all wonder why I think its a problem if I can still surf the net and download stuff, well first of all seeing the message is annoying, but more importantly it seems to have an effect on the speed at which I can surf the web on that computer. It is much slower than the other devices on the network and maybe it is even slowing down the network as a whole.
Just so you know, I have looked to make sure that all the use PPPoE settings are off in both the airport and ethernet configuration for this particular laptop. I have even turned them on and back off for good measure but it seems to make no difference. I have disconnected myself from the router and re-connected hundred of times.
Thank you for you time!
Daniel
PS Yes I have searched the forums before posting but everything I found about looking for PPPoE host had people not connected to the internet

I can't connect to my ISP using PPoE either using Firmware 7.3.2. I had to downgrade to 7.3.1 to connect to the PPoE.

Movie rentals that I downloaded onto iMac with Lion to do not show up on ATV 2 in menu for computers. Purchased movies show up just fine. What to do or look for?

I have an imac that is running lion and an Apple TV generation 2. I have rented a movie from itunes and it shows up on my imac in Itunes under a rental icon, and will play fine on my computer. However, it does not show up as choice to play on my apple tv. I have homesharing enabled and everything else works fine including purchased movies that are on my imac, but no where does it show rental movies.
What do I look for? What do I do to play the rental movie on my apple tv 2?

Answer to my own question:
Wait until the downloaded rental has completed its download to the imac. This took a long time for me, since it was part of several things that I was downloading at the same time.
Finally, it showed up on my apple tv. Interestingly, I was able to watch much of the movie on my iMac before the movie finished its download and was available to the ATV 2.

Looking for a Darknet/Secure BBS app

I have been a fan of Haxial KDX for the longest time, but due to the bugs, etc., I would like to move on. I'm looking for a secure darknet/bbs styled program that supports chat, filesharing, and of basic user management (who can login, who can't, etc..). I have been asking this question all over the web, and haven't gotten (or found) a single response. Waste has never worked right for me, by the way. I would definitely prefer it to be open source, which is why I thought it best to post here. Please help out, or at least direct me somewhere where I should ask... Thanks.
As an aside, the guy who wrote KDX and Hotline (Adam?? Hinckley) claimed on the Haxial website that he is willing to sell the project. I wouldn't mine purchasing and restarting the KDX Project, but I've been unable to get in contact with him. So...if you are him, or know him, or own the rights to Haxial KDX and all related projects...$$$$$

I've recently become a big fan of OneSwarm - http://oneswarm.cs.washington.edu - I like that it supports remote access.
But I'm definitely interested to see what this thread brings up!

Looking for a simple, standalone desktop app for web stats

Well, I see they've changed the forums here again. SIGH.
Anyway, a certain web host has eliminated AWStats from it's shared hosting. So I used Webmaster Tools. And now they've changed, and no longer display the simple visitors and hits. Google Analytics is way too complex for what I need, as are many of the stats programs I've looked into.
I can download the daily Apache log files, that's no problem. Just looking for a small standalone program to import these and show the data like AWStats. Any suggestions? The only other options would be to go to a different web host. Not a big deal overall, but I would rather not deal with the hassle, especially the migrating the database.

Not sure of standalone 'desktop' apps. But check out http://www.openwebanalytics.com/ and Web Analytics in Real Time | Clicky - they're both very intuitive and easy to use with a lot more simplified stats than Google Analytics.

Looking for Video playback app, like a DDR

Hello, I'm looking for a program to cue up and playback quicktime files for live broadcast off of the computers hard drive. Kind of like a DDR but all running on the computer. It needs to have the ability to cue up files based on keystrokes, like 123 enter = playack of 123, and be pretty quick about it.
I found Playbackpro.... at WWW.DTVideolabs.com but I'm looking for some other options.
Thank you.

Unfortuately I cant load the clips into quicktime since it's crashing when I load them..
Just hoping for a light weight app that's sole function is video file inspection

Looking for a real photo editing app.

I'm looking for something that can precisely resize and crop. None of this slider bullcrap where you can't get pixel level precision. I'd like to be able to crop at exactly 640x960 for example, or resize to exactly 820x620, etc.. Something that can do non destructive edits and that can save a jpeg without compressing it so much that image quality is noticably less. Photogene2 is great (nice edit features and good quality saves) but it can't crop or resize exactly by the pixel. Phototoaster is great (nice edit features and non destructive edits) except it can't crop and resize by the pixel. How hard would it be to provide numerical inputs for crops and resizes? Is there anything out there really worth buying that can do these essential tasks?

Looking for a high-res drawing app for the iPad

I've tried a few of the available iPad drawing apps like Sketchbook Pro and Brushes. It's a little hard to tell, because documentation tends to be short on details, but it appears that most of them (with the exception of Brushes) only let you work and export images at 1024 by 768 resolution. That isn't really high enough resolution for professional work.
Brushes is the only exception I've found. You work on the iPad in Brushes at 1024 by 768, but they have this OS X app that can convert your exported images to a higher res.
To me that's crazy awkward and time-consuming, and I think Brushes is OK as a drawing app, but not necessarily what I'm looking for.
Can anyone give me some better insight into the matter?
Is there some underlying technical reason that all of these apps have a hard limit of 1024 by 768 resolution?
Is there an app other than Brushes that can produce pro-level (high resolution) image files on the iPad?
Thanks,
JS

Looking for a program or app

just coming from windows,i dont know if you call them apps or programs? im looking for something that will keep track of customers,money they owe,and money they pay.would be nice if it worked with the calendar and phone book but not necessary.thanks

You didn't provide the actual name of the Windows program you are using so that features or prices can be compared. What do you expect to pay for a program, or do you want to use an online system that has monthly fees?
I don't know of any inexpensive programs for the Mac that are specifically set up for Farriers, but there are many database type programs that might be adapted to your needs. GrandTotal, $79 - offers pretty good integration with the Mac Address Book and Calendar (especially if you get it bundled with their TimeLog program for an extra $10) and it also has an iPhone-iPad program that can read open and due invoices you've created with their program.
You could also take a look at Bento, $49 - from FileMaker, which also has a program for iPhone-iPad. They offer some invoice templates that you can download and modify.
Both of these companies offer free trials.
I haven't used either of these products, but I am looking for something with better integration with my iDevices. The Quickbooks Connect program for iPad only works with the Windows version of Quickbooks Pro 2011 and requires a monthly subscription. Windows users are still complaining about it's lack of features so I'll probably pass.
One of my clients has offered to buy my Quickbooks for Mac, and I might take him up on it if the GrandTotal program works out for me. The program is great, but not very nimble on-the-road.
Hope this helps.

Looking for a cool music app (music creation, recording, playing)

Hi there,
I was looking on the app store if there's such application but didn't succeeded at the moment.
I'm looking for an app that would allow me to create music on the fly with a "midi-keyboard" with which I would record some notes then loop the sample and record a second track.
And build my simple music by playing bass line, then adding some beat, etc...
Any idea if it exist?
thanks in advance

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. Most of the people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
As to your issue, first, make sure that you did not inadvertently make an in-app purchase. Many apps, particularly games, are free for the base game but charge for additional features such as levels, "coins" and other such add-ons. Check your Purchase History to see if that reminds you as to what you might have purchased:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
If you find that this was an in-app purchase, to prevent this from happening again, turn off "In App purchases" in the Restrictions settings on your device. For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
As to a refund, that's not automatic since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
They're usually pretty lenient in the case of inadvertent purchases, but there are no guarantees.
If the charge was not an in-app purchase that you made and forgot but the charges do appear in your Purchase History, contact the iTunes Store and let them know. You should also immediately change your password for your Apple ID. If the charges don't appear in your Purchase History, they were probably fake charges made directly to your credit card, and your card issuer will need to handle those.
Regards.

Looking for a database collection app for children

Hi,
I am a primary school teacher and I am looking for a interesting way for my children to learn about databases and spreadsheets this term using the Ipads. I have looked at using Numbers but I am looking for an app that is child friendly and looks at them creating their own fields and collect their own data. Ideally want them to also use the camera to collect data and do majority of this on the ipad rather than sync it from a pc. Anyone kow any good apps for this?

That looks perfect!
I googled at first, and found a site with an alphabetical list of about 30 different database options. I got about 4 into it before deciding I should ask the experts. :)
Thanks a lot!

Looking for a client appointment app

I'm looking for an application for a friend who is a personal trainer. And if such an application doesn't exist, I'm considering writing one (I'm a software engineer)
The application would maintain a database of clients, and a schedule of appointments with them.
For each client, the following data needs to be maintained: contact information, current statistics (weight, body fat percentage, strength) as well as a history of statistics. Clients pay for a package of sessions in advance, and the app would keep track of how many prepaid sessions remain, updating that number with each scheduled appointment and each payment. Every client has recurring appointments, several per week, but rescheduling is common, and needs to be easy. And the app should be able to print out a year report for taxes.
I was thinking that it should interface with Address Book for contact information, and Calendar for appointments.
The main app should run on Snow Leopard, but mobile access through an iOS 4 sister app would be great. (Although if it works with Address Book and Calendar, their synchronization through MobileMe might be sufficient)
Is there any such thing? There must be other trainers, and other professionals with similar needs.
-Ron.

Hi Ron,
was there a template for bento that met all of the requirements that you detailed? My wife is a personal trainer and we've been looking for similar functionality in an app. Currently she's using the calendar app and contact book, but as you say, rescheduling is frequent and tracking remaining sessions would be very helpful. Let me know,
Paul

Looking for a Trade Show app

Was at a trade show back in November 2010 and saw someone using the iPad to take down customer information and send their contact info, not having an iPad at the time i didn't think to ask what the app was called.
I'm looking for an app that will allow prospects to input their contact information and possible check a few boxes of products they would be interested in, once they hit submit it would then send me and email with their information and a thank you email for signing up with my contact information included in it sent to their email. Does anyone know of an app that would allow me to do this?
Matt

I don't know of any existing Apps, but it sounds more like something a simple web-based HTML form would be more than suitable for. As long as the iPad has a net connection (which it would need to have to send an email) you just host the web-page on your companies web-site and view it in Safari on the iPad.
You can even make it look like a proper app by hiding the Safari toolbars and saving it as a web-app.
This is something someone with moderate web development skills could put together and customise it to look as you want and contain whatever checkboxes, form fields you want.
Here's Apple's information on creating web-pages optimised for iPad/iPhone Safari:
http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/appleapplications/refer ence/safariwebcontent/OptimizingforSafarioniPhone/OptimizingforSafarioniPhone.ht ml
You could also use a pre-built library such as:
