Mac address - mac mini

does anyone know how to find the mac address[not ip address] for a mac mini? i need its mac address to connect to a network?

This solution is not applicable for Mavericks or Yosemite. If you are using either of these two OS do this: Go to System Preferences>Network in the left column choose the method you connect to network (e.g. Ethernet, WI-FI etc) click on Advanced>Hardware. This will show you your MAC Address.

3850 stack member has no mac address.

I have a strange issue where a member in my 3850 stack has no mac address. This occurred after at duplicate address was discovered on the management interface. We have reboot the switch but no luck. still the same. see below:

It's not "strange". It's a normal behaviour because the 2nd stack member hasn't joined the stack yet. It could be the that the 2nd stack member isn't powered up or it's not cabled properly.

Is there any way to find my new Mac Mini's Mac Address before I complete the initialization of the new Mini?

I am starting my new Mac Mini for the first time. (My first Mac was a classic 128K that I upgraded myself to 512K back in 1985. My most recent Mac is a G4 466 Mhz unit that I am eventually replacing with the new Mac Mini.)
I hit a snag when I got to the point where the Mini wants to connect to my home network. The network has my G4 and a MacBook on it. I have my linksys WRT54G Router set to accept only those MAC Addresses that I have authorized. This is because there are several neighborhood networks that are within range of mine.
At this point I can either disable this filtering for a short time or find the MAC address of my new Mini before I initialize it.
Can I find the MAC address before I initialize the Mini?
Thanks,
-Joe

The serial number and the part number were on the outside of the shipping container. Nothing on the bottom of the unit at all. I worked around this problem by temporarily disabling the MAC Address or hardware address filter on my router until I was able to look up the MAC Address on the machine, entered it to the MAC Address list then I re-enabled the MAC Address filter on the router.
Thanks for the response, anyway.

HT1695 ipad mini mac address for setup

Anyone know how to get the iPad Mini MAC address when first setting up the device? I have a MAC filtering on the WiFi and it seems I can't either skip the setup or find out what the MAC address is. This is annooying since I know I can't be the only one who has run into this.
Why can't i find out the MAC address when setting up the logon and why am I forced to set up networking? Can I please have one of two solutions available?

I have the same problem. Did you get an answer for that?

I have two .mac addresses; how does this work in iCloud?

This is not about consolidating Apple ID's... I think.
When I got my first .mac address, I thought I picked a good one at the time. Later on, due to the peculiar spelling, I opted for an additonal (paid) address which I use every day. Now the first one (which is an Apple ID) contains my calendars, contacts, etc. I never use the email portion of it, again because of challenging spelling. The second .mac address (also an Apple ID) is an email only account. This is the email account I use daily.
When I make the transition to iCloud, I intend to keep my original AppleID (from the pre-.mac days) as my iTunes store ID.
My question is, what happens with my two other accounts?
.mac #1 with the contacts and such would move to iCloud and sync everything there as it currently does with MobileMe. Since .mac #2 is an email only account, would I even need to bother moving it to iCloud (if that's even possible), or would I just keep using that as email only using the current mail settings on my iThingys and Mac? Does anyone know if .mac #2 will live on after MobileMe vanishes, or will I loose my daily and coveted .mac email at that time?
I'm sure Apple has a good reason for not allowing us to just consolidate everything in one place, but I know there are many out there with a similar situation to mine.
I've spent a good deal of time tonight searching the various threads and can't seem to find an answer to the two .mac email dilemma. My appologies if it's already been discussed.
To sum up, I have one Apple ID that I use for iTunes and intend to keep as such. I have two .mac addresses which are also Apple ID's; one that syncs with MobileMe and one that is email only. I would like to use iCloud to sync what is currently on MobileMe, AND continue to use the simpler email address that I've been using for years.
Am I screwed??
Thanks in advance for your help, and Happy Holidays to all!!

Migrate the account which contains your calendars, contacts etc. first, at http://me.com/move and set it up on your Mac and devices.
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
Now migrate the email-only account in the same way. On a Mac you can add it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars - it won't sync anything but will be added to the accounts in Mail where you can then use the email in the normal way.
I don't know what the equivalent process on an iOS device is; very likely you need to add it as an account in the Mail app.

Sync Mac Address Book - multiple Google accounts

I hope this is the right place for this question.
I understand that you can sync the Mac Address Book with Google accounts, but is there a way to sync that Mac Address Book with MULTIPLE Google accounts.
Our scenario is that we have one iMac as our main database, and want to sync it to mine, and my wifes Google account.
Thanks for any help.

I have found a program called Spanning Sync

It allows for multiple Google syncing

Changing MAC address on wrt300n

So what did I learn today ... never let your little brother on your PC when logged in at a forum ! Result = kicked out, profile deleted, IP banned !
So I gather that my ISP has only static IP's and they suggest to change my MAC address to get a new IP so I can return to the forum and sign up again with a new profile. So the question is ... how the heck do I change the MAC address on the router ? Anyone have a source that I can read up on this ? This is all very new to me.
Thanks in advance.

MAC addresses are like DNA. There are no two matching ANYWHERE in the world (each device in the world has a unique hexidecimal MAC address and no two are alike). Therefore you cannot change your MAC address.
What I can tell you is what your ISP really means. When you connect your router (which has a MAC address) to their modem, their modem memorizes your devices MAC address and assigns it an IP address. You need to make the modem forget this MAC to get a new IP.
To do this, turn off your modem and old router and leave it off for a bit (10 min). Borrow someone elses router (or if you have an old router, use it). Connect it. Turn on modem and new router. Leave on for about 15 min so that your ISP forgets the old MAC address of your original router and creates a new IP address under the new MAC address of the newly connected router.
After 15 min, power them both down again, disconnect the temp router and connect your original router. Power them back up and wait 15 min again. You *should* get a new static IP from your ISP as it thinks it's a new MAC again. The ISP doesn't remember MAC addresses, only their modem does and once it forgets, it should give you a new IP when you connect the router again.
Hope this helps!!

HT5299 which is my ethernet mac address when in a retina with adapter?

Hi,
I need to get my ethernet mac address, but i have a macboock pro retina displays that only have wireless connection. I bought the gigabit ethernet adapter, but i need the mac address because the University system that will provide me the net connection needs it to allow my computer to the net.
Where can i find it?
Thanks!

Plug the adapter into the MBP-R (*) and go to System Preferences > Network > Thunderbolt Ethernet > Advanced.
(*) You may also have to plug an Ethernet cable into the adapter at least once. Mine has been plugged in, and I didn't check the MAC address before the first time, so I can't tell for sure.

How can I import iPhone contacts into Mac Address book

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and am in the process of trying to dump my Windows PC.
All of my important contacts are on my iPhone. How can I get those contacts into my Mac Address Book?
The same question goes for the music (ripped from CD) and my video files that are on my iPhone? The media is not that big of a deal because I can easily transfer it from my PC to my Mac but I assume I am not the only one in the world trying to do this and that Apple would make it very easy for MSFT Windows users to easily migrate to Macs.
I must be an idiot but I don't see any option in iTunes to transfer the data from my iPhone into iTunes and/or the Address Book.
Thanks

The iPhone's primary function is NOT a word processor or a spread sheet analyzer.
I didn't say, nor was I trying to imply ANYTHING of the sort. You should read what I provided again a little slower and in it's entirety, not taking this out of context, which you made into Apples and Oranges.
It IS an iPod, a device designed to store and play music (in addition to being a browser and a phone).
It is a phone, an iPod, and an internet device, which supports transferring iTunes content from iTunes on a single computer ONLY.
Making it difficult to transfer my legal music from my iPhone to my Mac does not make me want to go out and buy more Apple products or Apple software.
Good, then don't - no skin off my back. I couldn't care less if you want to remain a Windows sufferer. All this doesn't come from Apple. Much of it comes from those who OWN the distribution rights for content sold thru the iTunes Store.
All of Apple's commercials imply how easy the user experience is over Windows. Well, in this case, they missed the boat BIG TIME!
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but let me get this straight. You will likely need to transfer much more than just music from your Windows PC to your Mac and if so, how do you plan on accomplishing this? If you are transferring Word and Excel files, photos, and any other data, you won't be using an iPhone for this, so I don't see the big deal with transferring your iTunes library along with all other data being transferred.
I understand that the iPhone was not designed to be used as a backup. However, you allow the contacts to be merged in but not the music that I legally installed (but didn't purchase from the iTunes store).
I don't allow anything - this is a user to user help forum only.
As I provided in my first post in this thread - the sync process for contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks with an iPhone is bidirectional with the supported application on your computer. This is a sync process by definition of syncing - which is not the same for other data such as iTunes content and photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
Apple wants to make it difficult unless I purchased the music from iTunes.
No, Apple or really those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders for content sold thru the iTunes Store wants to make this difficult. Content sold thru the iTunes Store is set up by Apple to be a break even - which is included with the Apple stockholder's report. Apple makes their profit via sales of the iPod and iPhone. The bulk of the iTunes Store revenue goes to those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders for the content.
In addition, if my hard disk suffered a crash and I lost all my music it just seems stupid not to be able to pull it off my iPhone (yes, I know data should be backed up on a different drive, and mine is, but I am sure a lot of people do not back up their data).
Maintaining a backup of your data is important for this very reason, and for other reasons which is not Apple's responsibility. I believe iTunes includes an occasional warning message to backup your iTunes library (which can be turned off), and iTunes includes an option to transfer content purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone - since the overwhelming majority of this content includes DRM protection required by those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders.
The iPhone was not designed as an external storage device or as a backup device - end of story. If someone chooses not to maintain a backup, they are playing Russian roulette with their data. Maintaining a backup is important regardless the platform, but even more so when running Windows with constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.

.Mac address keeps disappearing

Hello,
I'm using 2 mail accounts on my iphone - one is my own domain via pop, the other is a .mac address. About once every other day the .mac address account completely disappears from my phone without me having touched the settings on either my phone or my computer.
Has this happened? Should I be unchecking something in iTunes to resolve this?
Thanks

See if it's related to this...
It also seems to be related to later OSX versions, like 10.8.x & 10.9.x

AP 2700 - 2 MAC addresses - problem with joining to the WLC

Hi,
I had a problem with joining my new AP 2700 to the controller. I've found workaround but I would like to ask you if you know if this behavior is a some kind of bug or maybe feature :)
I have DHCP server which assigns IP address base on the binding MAC address with the IP address. Without binding, IP won't be assigned so I added MAC address from the AP sticker (MAC and SN number is on the sticker at the back of each AP) to the DHCP, connected AP to the switch port which was configured exactly the same way like other ports on this switch where older AP are working fine and.... nothing. IP address was not assigned. There was no DHCP request in the DHCP server logs.
During the investigation I've found that AP present 2 MAC addresses on the switch interface:
switch#sh mac address-table interface fa1/1
Mac Address Table
Vlan Mac Address Type Ports
11 58f3.54c1.2cb3 DYNAMIC Fa1/1
11 58f3.54c1.2cb4 DYNAMIC Fa1/1
The first one (58f3.54c1.2cb3) is a "sticker" MAC address but the second one (58f3.54c1.2cb4) is something new. Looking in to the DHCP logs I've found log that this second MAC address (58f3.54c1.2cb4) tried to get IP address but it was not possible because this MAC was not binding with any IP address so DHCP server refuse. I added this second MAC (58f3.54c1.2cb4) to the DHCP server, AP get IP address, join to the WLC, download software, reboot and ... this MAC address disappear.
switch#sh mac address-table interface fa1/1
Mac Address Table
Vlan Mac Address Type Ports
11 58f3.54c1.2cb3 DYNAMIC Fa1/1
Software I had on the AP before joining to the WLC was:
Version :
Cisco IOS Software, C2700 Software (AP3G2-RCVK9W8-M), Version 15.2(4)JB5, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
now I have (after downloaded from the WLC)

WRT54GS - MAC Address Filter & Firewall SPI

Hi,
I just purchased a WRT54GS V 6 wireless router. I updated the firmware to the latest (May 30) and the set up seems to be OK. Using the security recommendations in the manual as a guide, I implemented them - the turn off SSID, and the others.
IF I try to filter the MAC addresses (accept only those on the list) for my wife's Sony VAIO VGN - S260 laptop, it can see the network but will not connect. When I turn off the MAC filtering, it is fine. I used the WPA2 personal encryption, and input the passphrase into both router and computer.
My other issue is the firewall Statefull Packet Inspection (SPI). On the Security set up screen, firewall tab - I have the four radio button settings that I am supposed to (Block WAN request, filter Multicast, Filter NAT, & Filter IDENT), however, I do NOT have the option to turn on the firewall (SPI) above the 4 radio buttons - that setting is totally missing from the set up screen. Reference Page 28 of the manual.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions, as I could not find any ideas searching the forum. Thanks for your help

Hi. Is your Mac mini loaded with the OSX server edition or OSX consumer edition? I am not 100% sure but I think you need a server edition to do that.

Interesting hardware you have there.
Is this perhaps a cat 5xxx with an RSM module?
In that case, the RSM is in fact a router blade.
The command "sh mac-adress " is only found on switches. This info is there already but you need to get it from the supervisor which will be running CatOS.

MAC address on 2950

Hi...
Whenever I telnet to the switch that my PC is connected to and type sho arp I get all the IP addresses of PCs connected to the switch while the hardware address is the same for all of them.
How can I get the mac addresses of the PCs connected to the ports?
Thanks

You should be getting the correct hardware address if the PCs are directly connected to the switch.
If you are connecting a group of PCs that pass through a router, then the single MAC that you are seeing is the MAC of the router interface connecting to the 2950.
To get the real MACs of the PCs, you'd need to look at the ARP table of the router.
Here's a sh arp from my switch:
Smack_2950#sho arp
Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface
Internet 172.16.1.254 190 000a.4144.d4bd ARPA Vlan1

You might also try a sh mac-address-table, it'll give you MAC and switch-port that the MAC is connected to.
Here's an example:
