Macbook and Ethernet not compatible?

ok, I have a macbook that I bought last August. I've been able to connect to the internet through wi-fi but I wanted to try something new. I decided to try to connect it to my desktop pc's internet. I unplugged the ethernet cable from the pc (it's from the cable company "cablevision") and connected it to my Macbook but it doesn't want to connect to the internet. What am I doing wrong?

Turn off the cable modem and the Mac. Wait at least one minute. Then turn on the modem and wait until the status lights indicate communication with the ISP. Next turn on the Mac. Open its Network preferences, select the Ethernet port and click on the Advanced button. Click on the TCP/IP tab and set the Configure IPv4 drop down menu to DHCP and click on the Apply button. You should shortly see the IP information appear.

If the site has been optimised for IE (which is non-standards compliant), the best you can try is to spoof IE from Safari.
I'm using an earlier version of Safari than you, so I hope Allan or someone will correct me if the procedure is different.
First, go to Safari Preferences and enable the developer menu;
Then go to the menu and select User Agent - choose a flavour of IE.
Works about 50% of the time.
It won't work if the site is using Activex controls.

MacBook OS x not compatible with ipad2?

Is my MacBook OS X nots compatible with iPad 2? Unable to access iTunes from iPad to MacBook.

You need to upgrade to at least Leopard and to iTunes 10.5 at less for your Mac to recognize the iPad.
Check to see if your Mac meets the hardware specs.
Finding a Leopard DVD may prove difficult.
If it were mine, I would check to see if it meets the hardware specs for Snow Leopard.
If it does that might be easier to find the DVD and cheaper.

If you go to System Preferences (under the Apple menu) and select the Network pane, then select the interface you want to use (probably Wi-Fi or AirPort if you are wireless, or Ethernet if not.) If using a static IP address you can set your router address here. If you are using DHCP, it is not needed, since the computer will pick it up automatically.
Best of luck.

Let's first try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

You do use Siri. Hold the home button until Siri responds and say "Define bottle". Same thing, no?
Hope that helps

its not working: (sorry for being so ambiguous), the computer recognises it, it comes up on my desktop, when i open it and try and drag a file across, it is unable to go into the drive, there is just a symbol indicating 'no' (i've read the instructions from Tosheba and there is no help). I have not partitioned the drive using the GUID partition scheme - i dont know what this means?!

Fluid and WebRunner not compatible.

Hi,
For portability issues always develop applications using sun implementation which can be configured for any vendor application servers.
Web services developed with jwsdp will work in webloigc 8.1 simply, take the examples from sun and simply deploy it in weblogic 8.1 it will work like gem with simple settings.
Just change the libraries with jwsdp ones.Place the
jwsdp lib.How to do this is ; place all these jars in the classpath before the exisiting classpath configuration.
Classpath=jwsdplibs;......
This is enough for deploying the webservice server side.
For using the client you have to change the default soap libraries used by weblogic with sun jar files.
See example from bea for client implementation.override the system property.

" This version of CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator not compatible with my computer"

CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator are not compatible with my computer. Is there a downloadable version of CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator that is? I downloaded in both the CS6 Design and Web Premium and individually, neither worked. I have a Mac OS X Version 10.6.8

No. if that message comes up, you are running on an old first generation Core Duo processor on an iMac/MacBook/ Mac mini and it simply is not compatible, no matter what version of OSX. It lacks specific chip components required for the code.

Thunderbolt display sound and ethernet not reliable after Yosemite upgrade

After upgrading my MacBook Air to Yosemite, my Thunderbolt display has become unreliable. Most of the time, connecting to the display does not allow either the sound or the ethernet capabilities of the monitor to be used by Yosemite. A manual restart of the MacBook temporarily resolves the issue, but it recurs any time I unplug the MacBook and plug it back in again. Reminds my of my Windows days, having to restart the computer to resolve issues. Not a good feeling.

Hi there,
i was experiencing this too. I followed this procedure (Have a backup available or make one!!) :http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1756994
1. Download & Run Kext Utility - http://cvad-mac.narod.ru/files/Kext_...app.v2.5.7.zip
2. Download & Extract - IO80211Family.kext zip https://www.sendspace.com/file/4v4a4r
3. Let Kext Utility do its job repairing permissions, system cache, etc.. then Drag & Drop the extracted IO80211Family.kext file into the Kext Utility
4. Restart MAC OS X Yosemite 10.10.
(no garanties ;-)

HT200131 When I connect my MacBook Air to my TV using Apple TV, the audio stays on my MacBook and does not transfer to my TV. Thus the volume is very low when I am watching a Movie on my TV and I have to listen to the volume from my laptop. How can I fix

When I connect my MacBook to my television using Apple TV the audio stays on the MacBook and doesn't transfer to the TV. How can I make it so I can hear the Movie or Video through my TV's speakers and not my MacBook's?

This is called "extended desktop mode". It's an extension of the desktop off to the right (by default) of your MBair screen. Grab an app and drag it off the right side of your MBair screen and it will appear on the TV.
To mirror your MBair screen on the TV you can press Command F1. This will toogle between mirror and extended desktop.
You can find all the settings in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.

After installing Firefox 6 it disables java 6.0.26 and says "not compatible...". The last version ov java is 1.6.0.26 which is what most users use. What is the solution?

This morning I installed Firefox 6 and it says that it is not compatible with Java Console 6.0.26 and it is disabled. I am using Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. Is this normal?

Not quite true certain web pages need java and are NOT working correctly at the moment .

JDK1.3 and Netmeeting Not compatible?? Need expert opinion! Thanks!! :)

Hi Everyone!! :)
I have researched this topic and have not been able to find a decent answer yet. So I'm asking the experts now!! :)
I have a java application written and compiled in jdk1.3. When a user runs this application remotely through netmeeting, they only get an intial gray frame, but nothing shows up on it. The menus and other GUI stuff ARE usuable, just not visible to the user. NOTE- if watching from the computer where the application is actually run from, everything initializes just fine. I've read that this is a problem in general with jdk1.3. Has anyone had any success with jdk1.4 and Netmeeting? Or does anyone know of a way to get to force jdk1.3 to work with netmeeting?? The later of the two would be preferable due to compatiblity issues with other programs and jdk1.4...
If I find something useful myself, I'll post it, but right now I've hit a dead end. ANY ideas would be great! ;)
Thank You!!
Katie

Sounds odd...I'm sure that the same technology used in Netmeeting was used in Remote client access...and I can run my applets thru Remove access with no problems. I usually find problems like this are related to a graphics problem...like colors too high, resolution too high, or the video acceleration is too high.
