Cant connect 2 nas to each other via my personal cloud

hi ,
i try to connect 2 nas to each other via my personal cloud.
1 of them is under my personal cloud ,, i send an invatation to the other. but when i put user name and password.. it says that the device is already familer and i get an error i cant acess.
i tried changing the cloud name.. each time i get a message it is already exist... i tried to change the configuration that each time the other one is a host.. but still nothing... please helpppp. can i reset clouds name????

Hello yuri1212
Are the devices on the same local network or are they remote? If they are remote you should be able to setup and host the cloud from one unit and then use the "other personal cloud" option to connect the remote NAS.
If they are on the same local network, personal cloud will not work between them.
For removing a persona cloud name from our servers, please contact support in your region so that our escalation teams can have the cloud name removed and made available.

Cant connect my ios devices to my mac book air

I cant connect my IOS devices (iphone 4s + ipad 2) to my macbook air mid/2013 by usb or bluetooth.
when connecting by usb the devices dose not charge or sync with itunes. it charges for split a second and disconnect anther time and it go forever in the his loop.
I tried using two cables.
The devices are working on my windows pc.
my macbook works with usb sticks and other android phones.
note:
-both devices are on ios 8.1
-my macbook is on Yosemite
-my ipad 2 worked well before updating my mac to yosemite

iPods that have the Window format should continue to work on a Mac, because Macs can read/write the Windows format used on iPods. (The opposite is not true - Windows cannot read the Mac format.)
You can change the formatting, by doing a Restore on the iPod, but that is done in iTunes, so iTunes needs to see the iPod when you connect it. The Restore will also erase the iPod.
Since it continues to work on your friends Windows PC, your iPod itself is probably OK, so you may want to first look at the connection to the Mac.
Did you use the same USB docking cable when you connected it to your friend's PC? If so, you can rule out the USB cable as the cause. If not, it's possible that your USB cable is faulty.
If you are connecting the iPod to a USB hub, try a direct connection to the Mac's USB port. If other USB devices are connected at the same time, try disconnecting the other devices (except for standard keyboard and mouse if normally used). You may also want to shut down (power off) the Mac, if you have not done so in a while. Also, do this to Reset the iPod

Start up the Mac, run iTunes, and connect the iPod by itself to a direct USB port.

Skype cant connect on Mac

Hi,
I am currently using the newest version of skype on my mac book air and after the update I could log in just fine, although just today I tried uninstalling and even changing my password on my phone to login to my skype but the message "skype cant connect" keeps poping up!!! help!!!

What exactly is the version of your currently installed Skype? In Skype go to Help -> About Skype.
Also, what do you see when you open this link in your Internet Explorer?

P.S. Please, don’t say that you are not using Internet Explorer. This is irrelevant. Skype depends on Internet Explorer.

MYSTERY: 3 Macs in network: Cant connect all 3 at once !??

I have an Intel-based iMac 20" and two 2005 models G5 (a dual 2.0 and a dual 2.3) sharing the same DSL internet connection via 2 Ethernet hubs.
Each Mac is able to connect to the Internet - but not at the same time.
I can only have a max of 2 macs connected at any given time.
I can only connect with the two G5s or one G5 and the iMac at the same time.
Right now I cannot connect to anything with the dual 2.0 G5.
Even with direct cabing to the DSL modem and all other connections off.
I still havent figured out why one Mac can connnect, and another cant.
Perhaps the ISP (Internet service provider) has a limit to how many computers you can connnect to a network?
Or perhaps I have a setting on my machine(s) that limits the no of Macs I can connect?
I have restarted and reset the hubs, the modem...****, I even rebooted my dog. Nothing helps!
I am going bonkers over this, so please save me from the asylum.

What IP address do your Macs get when they're online?
If they're real-world IP addresses then, yes, this is a limit of how many connections your ISP provides.
If they're private-class addresses (like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) then you should be able to get more than two machines online.
I'm guessing the former. If that is the case then you need to get a NAT router that can take one of the IP addresses handed out by your ISP and share it amongst multiple client systems.

My Ipad2 has a message: Ipad disabled connect to itunes. The trouble is I am out of the US now and cant connect to my my home mac or any computer it is synced with. What can I do? I cant even access the serial number to contact apple. Help!

Call Apple anyway. If the device was ever registered with then they will have the serial # on file and can look you up by other info such as your name or phone number.
To re-enable an iPad any computer with iTunes should work. However, if your data was not backed up to iCloud you will not be able to access it until you get back to your home computer.

I plug my iphone into my new mac and it tells me it cant connect securely. how do i fix this?

Is it a new drive or do you already have data on it ? If it is a new one, you might just want to format it with the Disk Utility else try to check the partition with the disk utility, your partition could be damaged.

I cant get my Mac Book to connect to my Apple tv

I cant get my Mac Book to connect to my Apple TV. My Ipad and Ipone connect just fine.
The Icon that should be at the top of my desktop is not there and the Apple tv mirrioring option in the Display system pref is not avalible
Any sugestions would be great.

If you´ve already verified if your Mac is able to connect to Airplay (note, Mountain Lion is not the point, but your Hardware is)
try to note this?
1. both are connected through the same wifi?
2. you´ve entered the Apple TV with the same Home Sharing (Apple ID) active?
* I mean, both Mac and Apple TV must be configured with the same Apple ID, and Home Sharing should be turned on in your iTunes.

Safari cant connect to a server.

I have Safari Version 7.0.2 (9537.74.9) Running on a powerbook with   10.9.2
message. when I open google, facebook or twitter... "Safari cant connect to server."
and firefox .. but I can open almost any other website.
This is the message I get in Firefox.
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Sometimes when I restart the computer it works for a few minutes then it gets blocked again...
I have tried restarding the browsers, deleting the cookies and a few other stuff but nothing seems to be working..
This is a new Mac ANd I havent installed many programms in it.

You, or someone using your computer, changed the network settings in an attempt to bypass copyright restrictions on Netflix. The illegal DNS server you're using should never have been trusted and now doesn't work.
Delete all the DNS servers by selecting them and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom of the list. You may have to unlock the settings first by clicking the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and entering your administrator login password when prompted.
If the server addresses are grayed out and can't be deleted, even with the preference pane unlocked, then the change was made on your router. Refer to its documentation to find out how to reverse the change. The router should get its DNS settings automatically from the ISP.
Click OK, then Apply. The DNS server list should be repopulated automatically with the address of your router, or the addresses of the DNS servers provided by your ISP. If that doesn't happen, open the TCP/IP tab of the preferences and click Renew DHCP Lease. If you're not using DHCP, manually enter the DNS server addresses you got from your ISP, or else use these temporarily:
8.8.8.8

Why do i have a $1300 mac that cant do wifi? About to give up on apple...!

I will try not to rant here that much.
I have been a happy mac user since september of 2006. I have been a very unhappy frustrated mac user since last week.
I bragged about how great the mac is. how it is for everyone. I have converted 2 families over to an imac... but now. I am so mad.
I have set up wireless networks with windows xp and hated every minute of it.
Therefore, when i finally set up this mac with my old off brand wifi g router, and had it work right away, i was impressed.
I even bragged to my friends about how they were so stuck with windows, and me with my mac... well i was just so much cooler than them.
Once in a while the wifi would go out. No big deal, but a week ago it started to go from a snowflake to a blizzard... The wifi wouldnt just go out, it would dissapear completely.
I cannot connect to the gateway at all.
Cannot access the internet.
I do this:
1. Unplug all cordless 2.4 ghz phones
2. Tear down my entire network and reconnect everything.
3. Go to the networking pane and check everything is working. I remove all networks from the preferred network list and then add them again.
4. I restart the computer with the airport power off.
None of this works.
Half the time i cannot even see my wifi router in the list without restarting the computer.
I buy a brand new netgear 802.11g router and install it. I even call netgear to see that the settings are correct (that it is broadcasting the SSID properly etc) and we change the channel to channel 02 and "G" only connections...
THE CONNECTION STILL DROPS EACH 15-30 MINUTES FOR NO REASON AT ALL.
I install the 2007-001 airport update which fixes things... sort of.
Since i download alot of files, and i have a dashboard widget that i pulled to the desktop to watch my network speeds, i can see that the update hasnt fixed anything... the connection still dissapears. however the computer then quickly tries to restablish the connection, as though you were to release/renew the ip quickly.
So there you go. No real fix.
Someone told me taht there is a combo update for 10.4.8 that i should try... what will that fix? I have 16 gigs of stuff on my mac HDD that i cannot lose, and dont have the option of quickly backing it all up, so i cant goto 10.4.7 easilly.
I am so mad. i am incessed... The apple store tells me to bring it in a get it fixed, however i can get connections to OTHER networks most of the time.
AND WHEN I BOOT INTO WINDOWS XP AND PLAY A GAME FOR AN HOUR, THERE IS NO PROBLEM AT ALL... so that shows me this is an os x problem.
Ok... lots of ranting.
is there a fix? Why did i buy a $1300 computer that cant connect to the internet?
iMac (intel) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I spent 2750 $ for my 24" iMac (price for my region)...

Are you running Leopard on your Mac, Laurie?
If so, try instead updating to iTunes 10.6.3.25. (That supports earlier models of iPhones running iOS 6, even though it can't run the new iPhone 5s.)
