Maps can't work on a wired network?

I upgraded to Mavericks on my MacBook Pro and was trying out Maps and it will not do any sort of location without having the wireless turned on. This is huge problem since when connected for work I must use a wired network. Does anyone have any solutions or ideas?
Thanks

Location Services (including Maps and "Find My Mac") relies on a database of known Wi-Fi access points. You don't necessarily have to be connected to a wireless network, but Wi-Fi does have to be turned on and you have to be within range of one of those access points.

MBP can no longer access a wired network

Just like week I could no longer access an academic wired campus network.
The IT department says they can see my MBP on the network, but the MPB no longer can access the network.
I can take the same MBP to another place of employment and gain access to their wired network.
As a caveat this same MBP can access the academic wireless network with no issues.
No thing has changed on the academci wired network since last week.
Thoughts?
Thank you,

Leopard sets your mac to avoid being a master browser so you don't see other shares in finder.
There are many ways around it but if you run a network with few machines and that is the only mac the fastest is to launch terminal as administrator and issue the following command:
sudo pico /etc/hosts
Add a line at the end with the IP address of your NAS, this is what I have in my hosts
192.168.0.100 Netdrive
Hit option X and save the file. Reboot the machine the NAS will come up immediately

HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw can't be detected on wired network

New LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw connects to main computer and functions. Networked computer does not recognize the this new computer. Operating system is Windows XP.
IBM Printer 12 was the printer that was replaced. I used the same USB port that the previous printer was using. Some how the new HP is not being rcognized on the network and I cannot print from the 2nd computer which is connected by the network.

Are you asking if you can connect to the Creative Cloud from Mexico?
As long as you have an internet connection, I don't see why not.

Airport Extreme wired network can't assign IP address, but wireless works

*Problem details:*
We have three computers intermittently on, wired into the ethernet LAN managed by the Airport Extreme.
We have a few more computers that connect to the wireless network managed by the same Airport Extreme.
As far as I know, no fancy settings hijinks have been attempted. I manage the router, and I only plugged the Airport into the cable modem and connected all the wires to the computers. The WiFi setup went a similar way -- I just turned it on and it sorted itself out. This was eight months ago, mind you -- everything has been going quite well up until this weekend.
But! I got home from a trip this weekend to discover that all the machines that connected over the wired network could no longer get a connection to the internet. Any machine connected over the wireless network, however, was working just fine. Indeed, my macbook pros couldn't even see the Airport Extreme when I turned off their WiFi, connected them over Ethernet and opened the Airport Extreme configuration app!
The wired machines complain that they have a self-assigned IP address. Sometimes, after resetting everything, they look like everything's fine for a moment. Like I said, ordinarily my macbook pro does not even recognize the router over the wired network. However, after reverting to factory defaults and restarting the Airport, the laptop did see it (until a few minutes went by and it realized something was wrong).
I figured that renewing my DHCP lease would fix this problem, but it did not. Nor did turning off Passive FTP Mode (PASV) under Proxies in the Network configuration pane.
I have tried resetting the router to factory defaults, power cycling the modem and router in various configurations, etc. but nothing has worked. In addition, I have verified that connecting any machine to the ethernet directly from the modem will work, so the problem is definitely being introduced by the Airport Extreme.
So I guess my question is: what do I have to poke to return everything to normal? I'd like working wired and wireless networks again.
*Some last few details:*
The Airport is running 7.5.2, but downgrading to 7.4.2 produced no tangible difference.
I have an Ubee D3.0 modem. All lights are green and blinky except the DS light, which is solid amber (and it is green when the modem is wired directly to one of my computers -- it's only amber when connected to the Airport).
Some of the machines that can't connect to the wired network are PCs, so it's not just an OSX thing.
My roommate's XBOX 360 can connect to the internet over the wired port. It doesn't have WiFi, so I'm pretty sure there's no way it could be fooling me.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can muster.
EDIT FOR APOLOGIES:
I didn't realize I was posting this in the "Airport for Windows" section. While a Windows computer's connection is a concern, I would much rather get my Macs online and deal with that first. I can't figure out how to move the message myself.

*An update:*
Several days later, this issue seems to have fixed itself. I suspect there may have been Funny Business on my ISP's end (but then again, it's an ISP).

Wired network Late2009 not working

This one has me completely stumped.
I can connect the mini to my wireless network without issue. However when I plug into the wired network I recieve an out of range IP address (169.254.130.164).
Equipmet:
All verified 100% functional cat6 wiring.
DIR825 wireless router (DHCP enabled)
I have the MINI homerun directly into the DIR825
Testing:
Plugged another laptop into the CAT6 line that the mini was trying to use and recieved proper addressing and network connectivity
On the DHCP table inside the DIR825 it shows the WIRED macmini's (mac address) as having an address of 192.168.0.57
I have 15 device's on the network all working no problem
WIFI on the macmini works flawlessly; albeit on limited bandwidth.

Ok sorry for the late reply on this.
So I tried the PRAM reset to no avail. I did it multiple times as suggested.
So I:
downloaded 10.8 (from the App Store)
created a USB boot disk to install 10.8
formated the drive in disk utility
than proceeded to install 10.8I did not time machine the computer (I.E. reset any of my software or files, it is only running stock osx)
After installation was done I rebooted the machine and proceeded to PRAM reset once again.
After all of this I am still gett a ip address starting in the 169 range. If I unplug the ethernet line and plug directly into a MacBook pro the macbook will get a valid working IP address nearly instantly.
Is it possible the Mini has a bad NIC? is the NIC a daughterboard in this machine or is it part of the motherboard?

Wired Networking if you can...

With all the complaints about the ATV and wireless that I've read on here (not to discount any of those mind you) I decided to check what kind of throughput I could get over my simple switched ethernet connection. The result? During syncing my Mac Mini (over 100 Mb ethernet) was able to sustain throughput of 10.5 MB/sec and burst up to 11.7 MB/sec (thus between 84 and 94 Mbps throughput). The Apple TV has got to be one of the best devices I've ever worked with when it comes to throughput over wired networks. I don't get that can kind of speed in between my Mac Mini and my PC. Moral of the story: If you can run a cable, run a cable and save yourself the headaches of wireless.

Yes I agree about the ethernet , make sure you use cat 6 cable. I get sustained thru put of 11.78 M/sec although wireless N set at 5 GHZ and multi cast at 12 I still get 10.5 peak but around 8.5 to 9.5 average.

Can you not sync wirelessly with a desktop PC on a wired network, while your iPhone is on the network wirelessly??

Can you not sync wirelessly with a desktop PC on a wired network, while your iPhone is on the network wirelessly??

I also thought that this was the case, but that is incorrect. Please see my previous post below:
I was having the same problem with an iPhone 4 and Windows XP. I finally fixed the issue! I read several posts over the past month telling me to make sure that both the PC and iPhone were on the same network. I thought that both were on the same network; however, I was using my "Guest network" to connect my iPhone to my Airport Base Station. In order for both devices to be on the same network, the first 3 numbers of both IP addresses must match. For example, if the PC's IP address is 199.167.1.X, the iPhone's IP address must be 199.167.1.Y. I signed onto my password-protected network from the phone just to see what IP address it would use. As soon as I logged on, my iPhone started to sync wirelessly. I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but I would suggest comparing the IP addresses of your PC and iPhone before doing anything else. For those posting that the PC and iPhone must be on the same Wireless network, my PC is hard-wired to the Airport Extreme and it still works!
My Setup:
iPhone 4 (running IOS 5.0.1)
Dell PC (running Windows XP SP3) (no wireless network card)
Airport Exteme Base Station (5th Generation & updated firmware)

Hi. I have a MacBook Pro with OS10.6.8 and cannot get net pages to load on my network at home. I can connect to the internet in work and on other networks. However, some other networks are now starting to fail. Can anyone suggets how I can fix it??

Hi. I have a MacBook Pro with OS10.6.8 and cannot get internet pages to load on my WiFi network at home. My iMac, iPhone and iPad all work on this network. It is connected to the net as dropbox registers a connection and so does skype. I can connect to the WiFi in work and on other networks when travelling. However, some other networks are now starting to fail. Can anyone suggets how I can fix it, as the MBP appears to be fine, its updated with all the latest versions of software and the WiFi network is also fine....just not with my MBP??

How can I share external devices connected to my Mac mini via USB on a wired network.

Own a Mac mini with Mountain Lion. Purchased the server app. The Mac mini is connected to a wired network with Mac’s and Windows machines. I have an external hard drive and 2 printers connected to the MAC mini via USB. I would like to share these devices with other computers on the wired network. Although I have attached similar devices with an airport extreme in the past, I am unable to use a wireless router in this case. Any suggestions on making this work with my current setup?

You don't really even need server app to do this. Simply go to System Preferences | Sharing and turn on both File & Printer sharing. Then, for example, the printer (not relevant what connection it has but obviously USB is fine) will be available to everyone on the wired network.
That's all there is to it - unless I missed/misunderstood something re: your setup which seems very straightforward.

Can't reinstall Officejet Pro 8000 A809N driver on wired network

Computer is running Windows XP with service pack 3 and all updates installed. When I tried to print two days ago, I received an error message that no printer was installed. I had printed earlier in the week without problems. I checked the Printer and Faxes folder in Control Panel, and it was empty. I believe it normally showed the HP printer as well as a Windows Fax print-to-file routine there.
When I clicked on Add a Printer in the Printer folder, I was told that the Print Spooler was not running. I ran "services.msc" from the Run command, and restarted the Print Spooler. I went back to the Printer folder, tried to reinstall the printer, and again it said the Print Spooler was not running. I restarted the Print Spooler again, and tried to look at Server Properties from the Printer folder file tab, and again it said the Print Spooler was not running (it is set to automatic restart). I've checked several related dll and exe files against their backups, and they don't appear to be corrupted. I scanned the hard drive for errors, and none were found.
I tried the built-in diagnostics of the HP software, and all I got was error messages that the Print Spooler was stopped. I came to the HP website, downloaded and installed two additional troubleshooting programs, which did not help. HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility says "software not installed", although nothing had been deleted, and still ran from the Start menu. HP Print Diagnostic Utility 4.1 states there is an issue with the print spooler, and to click "Fix". Clicking Fix opens a window stating to select the printer to troubleshoot, then press "Diagnose". No printer appears in the list though, so it states to install the software.
Therefore, I downloaded both the full and the limited install programs from the website and tried both several times. I ran the uninstall program of the existing installation from the Start menu without problems and rebooted. When I tried to reinstall though, I kept getting errors. Generally, the "hpnwchk" program (HP network check) opens in a dos screen, displays a long string of "Printer : (null)" lines, then crashes. The program then tells me that the printer is already installed to the TCP/IP port, and needs to be removed first. I click the option to "Fix" the TCP/IP port option. The installation program then continues, and brings up a window showing the correct information for my printer (it even wakes it from the standby mode). I select the printer from the list, and the install continues until receiving another error, stating that "arguments are incorrect", and that the installation has failed. I think the "arguments" are setting for the TCP/IP port, which differ between what it is being set from the current drivers and what was previously installed.
I've run the uninstall routine several times, and also manually deleted the printer folder from the registry using REGEDIT (HKCU/Printer). It seems to me that there is a conflict somewhere that keeps stopping the print spooler (it is set to auto restart). Also, the uninstall routine is not completely uninstalling, as it always says that the printer is already installed when I run the installation routines, and displays it's correct parameters. I Googled and read just about everything I can find on the subject, and I'm stumped. Where else could the TCP/IP settings be stored in the Registry, and what else is being missed on the uninstall?
Some additional information on my setup - the printer has been installed for about 2 years with no issues. I can still print without problems from another computer on our home wired network. I opened Vista on this very computer on a separate drive partition, and had no trouble installing and using the printer through Vista, which seems to eliminate any possible hardware issues (I never found it worth the effort to move over to Vista after trying it; only use it now as a back-up to XP on the computer). In the past week, I installed an update for Adobe Reader, and Microsoft Security Essentials stopped a Java Script Trojan. I believe Windows also installed it's monthly anti-virus update. All virus scans have been negative. Beyond that, there has been no other hardware or software changes.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I found a solution to the problem, through early morning inspiration. I thought as everything disappeared from the Printer folder, and kept being told that the printer was installed, that I would delete and reinstall other drivers that may (or may not) have been in the folder. I seemed to recall that I had the generic Fax driver installed, and the Microsoft XPS Document Writer installed. I went to "Add/Remove Windows Components", and deleted Fax Services. I then went to the Printer file, clicked Add a Printer, and didn't receive the error message that the Print Spooler wasn't running, ect. I then had no problem reinstalling the HP printer, Fax, and XPS drivers.

Maps app not working on Network Users

Maps app not working on network users on client machines?, is everyone having same issue?, Thanks in Advance

Sometimes it does, sometimes it does not. I assume we're talking about network users with home folders on a remote volume…
The only thing I could do about it was to inform Apple…

I want to buy iPad Air online, how do I know the one that can work with Nigeria gsm network.

Zen Touch optional wired remote control to play FM radio how do I get it? or can it work without

One of the reasons why i am thinking of buying a zen touch is becuase it has a FM radio built in. From the website it says you need an optional wired remote control to listen to the radio, where can i get one in the uk? or can it work without it's

The Zen Touch doesn't have a radio built-in. You'd need this:

The Zen Micro does have an FM tuner built-in.

Can you split the wired network ports through a sub router in the time caps

I have recently switched my office from PC to Macs, (MacBookPro and IMac, with a Time Capsule (1Tb).
I have the three wired network ports allocated to some newtwork based equipment and was wondering if I can put an network splitter in (such as a multiport D-link) to create another two wired ports?
Thanks for any response!

Hello JeremyHeighton. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Yes, you can add an Ethernet switch to any of the Time Capsule's LAN ports to increase the number of available LAN ports for additional wired clients.
