Lost SMB connections to PC's and a Linksys NAS

I am lost... My G5 has lost connections to SMB shares to Win computers and a NAS drive. Able to print to network printers and connect to the internet without problems, just unable to connect to any local computers. I didn't make any network changes, ran disk utility just in case of a corrupt file, didn't make a difference. My router settings have not changed. I'm thinking it has to be a file messed up but don't know which one. Could some one point me in the right direction.
Thanks, Bill...

You can only connect the modem and the WRT610N using one wire, not two.
When you say that you have three "fixed global IP" addresses, I assume that you mean that you have three Internet addresses. Is that correct?
If so, then you have two possible solutions for your problem:
1) Add a gigabit switch, such as the SD2005 or SD2008, between your modem and the rest of your network. You should then be able to access each of the 3 fixed Internet addresses by plugging your devices into the switch. However, you might not want to plug your NAS into the switch, especially if your NAS has limited ability to protect itself from hackers. Also, you might prefer to keep your NAS attached to your WRT610N LAN. If so, try solution 2.
2) Solution 2 is to leave your NAS connected to the WRT610N LAN, but access it over the Internet via a port. Most NAS devices can be reached from the Internet by giving your NAS a fixed LAN IP address, then forwarding a port to that fixed address.

Itunes update 10.4.0.80 has lost my connection to itunes store and sync capability

Since mistakenly updating to the above version, i can no longer connect to the itunes store (although the internet connection is fine) and my ipad will not syncronise any selected documents with apps when connected by USB. I have lost all of the associated documents that were with the ipad apps. I can connect to itunes store over wifi with the ipad and my iphone without any problem though.
When you click on itunes store within itunes on the PC the progress bar stops halfway and leaves a blank window. The same symptom is displayed when clicking on the Help option.
No idea what to do now. Any suggestions?
regards
John

John,
Even i am facing the same exact problem the way you are facing, but i thought my net is having problem so i changed the net also. Now it seems that Apple has problem with this version.If you find any solution kindly mail me on [email protected] I would appreciate your help for the same.
Thanks and Regards,

Updated to 5.1 this weekend and lost wifi connectivity on iPhone 4 and Ipad 2

This weekend I updated my iPhone 4 (AT&T) and iPad 2 (Verizon 3G, wifi) to 5.1. Since the update (went flawlessly), I have been unable to connect to wifi networks anywhere. All that I get is the continuously running circle that shows it is trying to connect (but never actually does). I have RESET all Network connections numerous times, did the 'Forget this' connection on everything, etc. They will no longer connect to places that I have always connected to (Home network, CLE Airport, Hilton, Work, etc...). I can connect to all networks fine with my laptop and blackberry, but I just get the constant connection circle with my iPhone and iPad 2. Can anyone offer any other advise?
I have tried:
1. Reboot (Soft)
2. Reboot (Hard (Home and Power button)
3. Forget WiFi connection
4. Reset Network Connections
5. Tried 6 different Wireless (wifi) networks that I have always been able to connect to with no luck.
6. Airplane Mode with wifi on...
7. Turned 3G off...
Desperately awaiting some assistance, I do not have cell connections in our facilities or the hotel, so basically have a useless device right now!

I have the same problem with my Ipad 2 16gb WiFi, I bought it in US on march (I don´t live in US) I returned to my country and updated the IOS to 5.1.
One week ago the wifi signal dissapeared, I get the continuously running circle that shows it is trying to connect too.
I tried to reset it, to restart it, I even erase all content and settings but the problem continues.
As you can imagine an Ipad without internet connection is useless, I have opened a case in Apple Technical Support.
All I want to do is to return it
The question is if It will be possible to replace it or change it by other apple product. I will go to US again next month.

My mac just lost the connection to the internet and now it wont recognize my wireless modem

airpor wont read modem after using it all the time

Try a complete power cycle of the network
Power down the entire network...all devices...order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first and let it run for 2-3 minutes by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Continue starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
Check the network

Anyone have intermittently lost internet connection, poor network speed and signal with new Time Capsule?

I just bought the new TC with 2gb HD. Replacing 1st Gen Airport Express. I have all the latest firmware and hardware updates. Using: iMac, multiple macbooks and airbooks, multiple iPads, android tablets, iPhones. With the new TC, I have less than impressive range and speed and my internet connection keeps disappearing intermittently. Restarts of my cable modem and the TC sometimes help. This all started with addition of new TC. I have suffered similar episodes in the past with old APE with new firmware updates. Anyone else seeing these problems? I have heard a lot of people say the new TC drastically improved their network range and speed.

The TC is failing and this happens at times with cable or fibre connections due to the WAN port having issues.
The Express uses 100mbit ethernet ports and does seem to have less issues. On the TC the gigabit is sometimes confused. If you have a small swtch around try using that between the fibre connection and the TC.
If you are using a patch cable to a wall outlet.. the other thing you can try is a crossover cable.. these are still readily available and it has helped for some people.
Do a factory reset of the TC.. and then see if you are getting the public IP onto the WAN port.
If you do there are some other issues that happen so if you can.. give us a screenshot of the wan settings you are getting in the airport utilty.
You can just cover the last few digits of the public IP.. although unless it is static it will change anyway.

AirPort Express over Ethernet lost the connection

I have an AirPort Express device. It's works well, if I connect it over WLAN. If I connect the AirPort Express over Ethernet via cable, then after about 15 minutes, I lost the connection between my PC and the AirPort Express.
Does I have to change settings in my router?

then when I try to switch it to extending
That is not the correct setting to use.
"Extending" is only used when an AirPort connects using a wireless connection to another AirPort router.
When the AirPort connects using Ethernet, you have to use the "Create a wireless network" setting.
It might be a lot easier if you simply start all over again and let the configuration "wizard" do most of the work for you. All that you really have to do is name the network, name the Express, enter the password and click Next. Everything else is handled by the configuration utility.
Post back if you are not sure how to do this.

"Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." Trying to format my iomega external HD for use with Mac

Hi. Trying to connect iomega ext. HD. i have to reformat for Mac. When i plug in & go to Disk Utility,the external shows up and i'm supposed to click "partition". When i do, a box comes up saying ""Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." I quit and relaunched, same results. After googling my question, i came up with this:
"Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
(Quitting and reopening Disk Utility does not help.)
The following also appears in Console log:
*** malloc[419]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x290a410; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug : for architecture i386 object: ./Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes malformed object (unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD command 27 can't byte swap it)
Workaround
Quit Disk Utility.
From the Finder's Go menu, choose Go to Folder....
Type the following, then click OK: /Library/Receipts
Temporarily remove these iTunes receipts from /Library/Receipts (sort the folder alphabetically as a list):
iTunes.pkg
iTunes4.pkg
You can put them on the desktop, for example. Do not remove iTunesX.pkg or iTunes Phone Driver.pkg.
Open Disk Utility and repair disk permissions again.
Quit Disk Utility.
Put the removed iTunes receipts back in /Library/Receipts.
Note: This issue does not affect Disk Utility's verify or repair disk features.
All seemed good, for a moment, until, upon going back to Disk Utility after removing itunes4.pkg and putting on desktop (i did not have itunes.pkg to remove) the same thing was happening. When i highlite my iomega ext. on left of page, disk perrmissions is grayed and does not allow me to click on it. Same problem from the start. Can somebody please help me out here? That would soooo awesome. Thanx!

i'm just scared i will do something wrong on my own and lose my data.
You shouldn't be scared of that, because you should already have backups. If you don't have backups, then backing up is the first priority.
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and restart. When you hear the chime, hold down the C key and keep holding it until the Apple logo appears on the display. You should now see the language selection screen. Select your language, then choose Utilities > Disk Utility from the menu bar. In the Disk Utility window, select the external drive (not the internal). The drive may already have a data partition, in which case there will be another icon below the drive icon. Choose the drive icon, then select the Partition tab. Create a single partition with the default options (GUID partition table, Mac OS X Extended Journaled).
When the partitioning is done, select the startup volume on your internal drive in the DU window. Select the Restore tab. Drag the icon of the startup volume to the "Source" field. Then drag the icon of the newly-created volume on the external drive to the "Destination" field. Make sure you have this right. Then click the Restore button, and the data on your startup volume will be copied to the external drive.

I have updated my 4s iphone to ios 6.1.3 and have trouble connecting it to wi fi . i tried to back up it on itunes and then restore it but now i have left with a phone that still doesnt connect to wi fi and lost all my data. anyone knows how to fix it?

If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, there is a hardware problem.

I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Suddenly lost connection to my wifi and my phone can't find it again?

I was just using my iphone 4s normally and it suddenly lost connection to my home's wifi. I have been trying for hours, reset the wifi modem and turned it on and off, put my phone through recovery mode- the whole lot. Please help!!!

Howdy whitneyavon,
It sounds like you are unable to either connect to, or see your home Wi-Fi network. I would first, update your router, then reset your network settings. Assuming you restored from a backup, my thought is that the backed up network settings may need to be refreshed:
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download. Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download. Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

The obvious way to resolve this on a computer would be to uninstall the app, then reinstall it, however on an iOS device that would cause all the data assoicated with the app to be thrown away.
Make sure your iTunes library has the latest updates for all your apps, then backup and restore the device. This should pull back a fresh copy of the app from your iTunes library and then give it the data from your device backup.

If iCloud Backup is set to Off in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, it means that your iPod will not automatically back up to iCloud, but will automatically back up to your computer when you sync. The only way you would risk losing data is if you have never synced with iTunes before. If that's the case, you have to take special precautions to avoid losing data, as outlined in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
