MacBook to tv connection no longer working. OS 10.8

I have a mid-2010 MacBook, running OS10.8. I was able to use my Panasonic TV as a monitor but the connection no longer works. I tried the "Safe Mode" solution and that worked for awhile. After trying to connect (unsuccessfully), when I turn the tv off (still connected to lap top) the lap top screen flashes blue for a nano second.
Any suggestions for getting around this problem?

Your version of Mail didn't upgrade properly because you've moved it from its expected location location (to a sub folder you've named "APPLE apps").
Move it back into the HD/Applications folder and apply the 10.6.8 "Combo" update to fix things.

Remote Desktop Connection no longer works.

After verifying that all Remote Desktop Connection settings and firewall settings match the requirements, I cannot connect to the host computer running Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center from a client computer running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 over my
home (private) network. I was previously able to connect these same two computers when the host computer was running Windows XP Pro, but now that I have upgraded its operating system to Win 8.1 Pro the connection no longer works. The Windows Troubleshooter
cannot find the problem. What is wrong?

If you turn off a firewall in a router it is still using NAT which will also act like a firewall. In my experience its better to let your router be the firewall.
On most routers that have an SPI firewall you have to setup 2 rules to allow remote connections. One would be the firewall rule and other would be the port forwarding(NAT) rule.
Are you forwarding the correct ports to your mac from the router? Does your Mac have a fixed IP address?

I used to send photos from my Lumix Tz-40 camera directly to my iPad using the cameras WIFI. Since I installed IOS7 the connection no longer works. Anyone got any ideas. I have already installed the latest version of Panasonic's Image App (1.7.1)

I used to send photos from my Lumix Tz-40 camera directly to my iPad using the camera's WIFI. It was all working well until I installed IOS7. The connection no longer works. The camera still keeps the iPad in its connection history. The camera's wifi network still appears when I select a WiFi network from the iPad but the Wifi status icon never appears on the iPad. So the connection is never made.

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan

I have to extract all files from a hard drive of a macbook pro that is no longer working. All I have to access the hard drive is a PC, is this possible, and if so how?

You could try Paragon HFS+ for Windows. That would allow you to read and write files from a Mac-formatted drive.

TC 2 TB A1409 Wan internet connection no longer working but light is still green?

TC 2 TB A1409 Wan internet connection no longer working but light is still green?
My TC and modem have been up and running for at least the last 2 years without any issues.
It recently started acting up and I would have restart it as I had no internet access. All of a sudden My TC stopped connecting to internet regardless of restart. Utility shows i have no internet connection. I had all the correct green lights on my modem. I figured it might be the modem and connected directly to single ethernet port in modem to my mac book and it worked. When I reconnect modem to TC and restart Modem, TC still shows no internet connection in utility even though I'm getting green sync light on TC.
Help Please.
I'm out of warranty, I have not reset to default yet, Im not sure if I will loose my TC back up data.
please advice
Remy

The Gen4 has some nasty faults.. mostly unrepairable...
If the WAN is gone it becomes pretty well useless at least in its current role as router.
You might still be able to plug it in by ethernet to a LAN port in bridge.
Do try a full factory reset.. always worth a go.
No files will be lost on the hard disk.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Check the ethernet LED is going on.. both on the modem and the TC WAN port.
Do you have any applecare on a computer? If so it might cover the TC.. the rules are complicated but if the TC was bought within 2years before or after the computer it is covered up to max of 3years. You can still get coverage therefore if the TC is over 1 year but less than 2 years by buying applecare now on a computer or an Apple TV which is not too expensive. You can sell off the Apple TV without even opening it.. but use the applecare on it to get your TC replaced.
Only the very first Gen4 will be up to 3years.
Did you have a lightning storm or something btw?? Sometimes the modem can survive and pass the parcel to the TC which seems rather fragile.
There is also a trick to test..
You must have v5 airport utility.. any older Macs, or windows computer you can load on 5.6 utility .. even dual boot/parallels mac.
Go to the WAN setup.. and set the ethernet port to 10mbit half duplex.
Sometimes a damaged port can still manage the slowest speed.. by magic.

Remote Desktop Connection no longer working

Hi, I really hope someone can please help me. I just switched from Comcast to FIOS and I can no longer remote desktop to work - so I'm not getting paid until I can get it fixed.
The way that I was doing it before was to connect with a regular Microsoft VPN (I have Windows XP Professional), and then I would use Remote Desktop Connection to log into the work PC. Since I switched to FIOS it no longer works on either my laptop with wireless or my desktop which is connected to the router.
The VPN seems to be connecting OK; it says it is and it is sending/receiving a small bit of data. But when I open the the RDC and try to connect using the PC name it says that the computer cannot be found. I tried to connect to the IP address of it (after connecting through the VPN) and then it says it's found but cannot connect.
There is another location to which I log in using a Cisco VPN and then Remote Desktop - that still works just fine. Nothing at work has changed; everyone else can log in with no problems, including everyone else with FIOS.
I honestly have no ideas at all; this is not my area of expertise to say the least. If anyone could help I would REALLY appreciate it!
Thanks much!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It is a new Actiontec router.
I finally got it resolved; one of my coworkers suggested checking to make sure that the IP addresses were not in conflict, and they were. So, if anyone else has this problem, what happened was that the new router was assigning IP addresses to my PC's at home in the 192.168.1.x range, which was also the server at work's IP address.
So the really dumbed down version (for people like me!) is to open a command prompt on your desktop, run ipconfig /all, and then it will tell you your internal IP address. (I was getting thrown off because the ROUTER'S IP address, which is the one you can look up online, was different). If the PC's IP is almost the same as the server IP address, then you have to change the IP range on your router to something like 192.168.114.x. There's directions if you google the router specs; I had to change it in three places on the router software; the router IP, the begin range and the end range.
Thank you, jumpin68ny, for starting to help me. Hopefully now this may help someone else!

MacBook Pro late 2008 no longer working with Airport Express

Hi,
since a few days I have big problems with my MacBook Pro (late 2008) and my Airport Express. The MacBook can't find the airport express anymore, even not with the airport utility...
The Airport Express is correctly configured as my Ipod, Blackberry and Dell pc are connecting to it and do have internet access...
I can only manage the Airport Express when I'm directly connected to it with an ethernet cable.
My brother has an airport expreme, I tested it with my MacBook Pro and there it just works fine...
Can anyone help me? Has it something to do with an update for Mac OS X or the firmware from the Airport Express?
Many thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response,
1. I live in Atlanta, close enough to an Apple store. But I just know that going there will probably mean I'll have to get the logic board replaced.
2. The only thing I noticed before the first USB port started acting funny was that my battery status changed to "Service Battery". I plan on replacing it this week too.
3. Nope only difference is that my battery drains kind of fast. After about 3-4 hours of my normal usuage with it (Internet, music, videos, and sometimes using Logic) it will be time to hook up the charger.
Would replacing the battery do anything? I'm not thinking it would but figure it'd be worth a shot since I've got to replace it anyway.
And to goofyziggy,
I too noticed that most people who had this problem had some version of OSX 10.8.x

Alpine connection no longer works

This is so wierd. We have a fourth generation iPod and we mostly keep it in the glovebox connected to our Alpine CDA-9856. It's worked perfectly and we love it. It just stopped working for no apparent reason! To troubleshoot it we did a couple of things. We took it inside and made sure it worked hooked up to headphones, which it does. We updated the itunes program and music from our computer onto it. Then we tried our nano with the Alpine and it worked. So there's nothing wrong with the Alpine device or connection.
Seems to me like both the Alpine and the iPod are both working. But no longer working together. The iPod just keeps flashing OK to Disconnect. Normally it displays that and alternates that display with the song info. Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks!
Sheila

This solution of resetting the iPod worked perfectly for me with my 2 month old Alpine CDE 9881 that stopped working last week.
I feel bad now though because I only saw this solution after going to the dealer who sold me the Alpine unit and getting them to swap it with a new one, which we naturally found didn't solve the problem, because it was the iPod that was at fault, not the Alpine.

Camera connection no longer works after 10.4.7 update

Today in the middle of a shoot I made the mistake of letting Software Update download the 10.4.7 OS update. As soon as I rebooted my Canon camera was no longer able to connect to my Powerbook. In the System Profiler under USB it indicates that the camera is connected, but Canon's software just hangs or tells me to check the connection. If I switch the camera to PTP and launch iPhoto the camera doesn't appear either.
Everything worked fine before the update. I shoot in tethered mode so using a card reader will not help me with that. Canon support says that 10.4.7 was released to solve a connection problem with 10.4.6, but for me it has had the opposite effect. I am the first person to report this problem, though there have been issues with users of Intel Macs which were solved by reinstalling software. I reinstalled and updated everything to no avail. Anybody have any ideas or similar experience.
I certainly wish I'd never alowed this update. Is there any way to revert back to 10.4.6?

I have a DSC-T1 Sony camera. I also have a Panasonic video camera with a built in digital camera. I just took some shots with the Panasonic. Plugged it in, and it worked perfectly. iphoto opened and did what it was supposed to do. I then tried the Sony and nothing happened again. Maybe this is a problem with the mac not recognizing certain cameras...?????

Since updating to 10.7.1 internet sharing between macbook pros via airport no longer works.

Updated macbook pros to 10.7.1 and since then have trouble in sharing an ethernet internet connection to other devices by airport/wi-fi (ipod touch, iphone and other macbook). Any suggestions?

Thanks mj - I'm up and running.
I could get the dmg into the sidebar of disk utility but not mount it.
Here's what I did. I booted in safe mode. That enabled me to mount the disk image for the combo update, but didn't fix the other problems.
Installing the combo update fixed the problems I referred to - ie I can mount dmgs, use safari and the widgets work, even have my vpn back.
It however reintroduced another problem - namely that I could not use any of the software for my canon eos 20d software - esp. the eos utility to download photos. This problem was previously fixed by loading iousbfamily-xxx as described in the discussions - I think this is basically an earlier version of the usb driver than the driver loaded with 10.4.7. Fearing that this may have caused the problem, it was with some trepidation that I tried it again.
So far so good.
Thanks very much for the time you've put in helping me - I'm very grateful. Not being a techo I swapped from PCs to MACs to get away from all the update/compatibility problems and I get very frustrated when things don't work.

VPN connection no longer working - Lion 10.8.5

I have been successfully connecting through VPN to my work server for over one year on my laptop. A week or so ago I could no longer connect. Error is "The VPN server did not respond. Verify the server address and try reconnecting." I have had the IT dept at work trying to figure it out. No luck. What has happened that this worked for so long and now will not? Firewall issue or ?? I have tried connecting through my wireless at home, as well as through my iphone hotspot - same problem. I also tried loading the VPN software onto our new Mac desktop, same problem. PLEASE - help me, any ideas? Thanks! PS I am not a techy.

Hi Linc,
If I have done all my system updates, will I have the supplemental or do I need to download it specifically from your link? Thank you in advance.

My internet connection no longer works

I'm a newbie as regards MACs. I have a MBP and it has been working OK on the internet. I have a Netgear DG814 router and a LAN connected with my PCs. Internet is OK on the PCs (I'm using one for this post).
It was OK on the MBP until I tried to set up WEP on the airport. It worked but, like everyone it appears, my connection kept dropping off.
So I went back to a wired connection. This used to work but now it doesn't. I can see all the PCs on the LAN from the MPB. I can see the MacBook from the PCs. I can connect to the router as administrator, from the MPB. It doesn't appear to be a DNS problem as I can connect to Apple by browsing to http://17.254.0.91 from Safari.
However, the page takes about an hour, or more, (this is not an overstatement) to be painted. It takes a matter of a couple of seconds to do the same thing from the PC!
I'm using fixed IP addresses on the LAN.
I used to know my way around Unix once upon a time, but that was 15 years ago! It's amazing how much you can forget in that length of time.
Help . . . . what do I do ????
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hey Bob - check to see if UPnP is enabled in your router, and if so disable it.
I've now solved a half a dozen local 'erratic wireless' problems on MacBookPro's by disabling UPnP in our routers (all of them Linksys, for what it's worth). It may be that our problems are not your problems, but it's worth a shot.
[Other details: using a Core Duo MBP 1.83 in 10.4.8 via 802.11g, along with a bunch of other wired and wireless Macs, PCs, a Linux machine or two, and my Nokia 770; all auth via WPA2; WRT54GS v 2.2 firmware at 4.71.1; in each case, it appears the MBP's interaction with the router's UPnP was preventing regular communication with other devices on the network.]
Another suggestion: there is a MacOSX build of Ethereal floating around somewhere - it may be worth finding it, running it on your MBP to see what packets are hitting the interface. Given your explanation about extremely slow rendering, perhaps you have something on your network that's impairing throughput. In the same vein, you might google MenuMeters and install it for a constant display of throughput as it relates to you MBP (be sure to go into the settings for MenuMeters to enable each of the options it presents).

After installing Lion, sharing my USB internet connection no longer works on my iPhone4.

I have a USB internet device and have been able to share that connection with my iPhone without problem, until installing Lion. I searched the web, and someone suggested changing my encryption to 128, which I did. For a few hours that worked, but now it's not giving me a decent connection. Anyone know why and what the solution is? Thanks.

I am having the same problem. It worked fine (connecting my iOS devices to my macbook pro using internet sharing) until Lion. Then it all went to ****.

Laptop internet connection no longer works after adding Time Capsule to network

The other day I was setting up my Time Capsule for the first time at my new apartment (after having it in a box for months). I've got internet access through my apartment, so I haven't needed to use it as a router like I did the last time I used it. Also, the router is in another tenant's room. So I opened Airport Utility and adjusted the settings to add the Time Capsule to the network. After doing this, my laptop has lost its Internet connection. I can still connect to the network and my iPad has had no issues connecting to the same network and using the Internet, but the Internet won't work on my MacBook Pro (2006 model).
Since then, I've plugged an ethernet cable between my laptop and Time Capsule so I could find it on Airport Utility and change its settings to connect to the laptop via Ethernet. Also, I called my landlord and got the router reset.
I know the Time Capsule/Airport Utility is involved because the Internet connection died as soon as I tried adding my Time Capsule to the network.
Any suggestions?
