Modem and ethernet icons always there
Dear Common Wisdom:
I connot find the botton to turn off the modem and ethernet icons that are taking up precious real estate in my top menu bar.
Can anyone help me turn them off?
Thanks!
cj
Should be that easy, but not so, Joe.
When I do that the Wi-fi status disappears, but the modem and ethernet icons don't!!!
Anyway, I do want the wi-fi status. That is helpful.
Any other ideas?

MY Mail app does not respond in anyway to anything. The icon shows I have over 300 emails but I have no access to them. When I tap on the Mail icon a blank white page comes up with the blue format lines. No emails, no inbox, nothing, not a single letter of the alphabet is there. Within a few seconds it blinks out and I see the icon and my home screen. Soon it just blinks out to black. I am left with the icon at the bottom center of the screen. I have no way to shut it down. I have no access to the emails (300) in my inbox. All that is happening is my memory is getting filled up with emails. I would appreciate any solution to this problem barring deleting my email set up in settings.
if I have to resort to that I will, in the meantime I am hoping for a different resolution. Thanks everyone, you are all amazing and greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Diane.Hey There Diane,
If I'm understanding your situation, you've got an iPad running iOS 6.1.3 and the Mail app is not working. I understand you don't want to remove and re-add your email account.
The first thing I would suggest is to make sure your iPad is backed up to iCloud or iTunes.
Do you have an iMAP or a POP email account? When you go online to your email service provider's website, are you able to access the 300 emails in your inbox?
Since the Mail app is part of your iOS operating system, upgrading that software to the latest version, which is 8.1.3 may resolve this issue.

Text labels missing under Library and Viewer icons in V31
I just built a multi-folio app with DPS Pro Edition. I specified V31. When I preview the resulting Developer app on my iPad, the text under the small "Library" and "Viewer" icons at the bottom of the screen is missing. The Library and Viewer icons are there, but the space below the icon where the words "Library" and "Viewer" should appear is missing.
I didn't select "Use Customized Strings" or anything like that when I built the app in DPS App Builder. Any ideas?Sent the details to your email. If you can:
Can you try to build a new app and see if the labels are missing?
If the app is for both ipad/iphone try to rebuild for ipad only?
Check the app builder version number?

Can I switch back and forth between DSL ethernet modem and AirPort ?
I use Earthlink DSL connected direct to my iMac by ethernet cable from my modem and the service is very good . . . ever since I installed Leopard I noticed up in the top menu bar that AirPort is ON and usually shows 4 or 5 names listed and only 2 or 3 have the Lock icon . . . I have to assume AirPort is detecting signals from the apartments above and next to me . . . I do not need a wireless connection but I am curious to see if my iMac will actually join one of those networks so how do I temporarily try that and then go back to my regular wired DSL service ? . . . also, I may start renting out a room in my place and the girl will undoubtedly have either a Windows or hopefully a Mac laptop and will need wireless so I would appreciate advice on the best equipment to buy that both Windows and Mac laptops can connect to wirelessly . . . thanks in advance for any advice
Yes you can. Just unplug your DSL modem and then go to your airport menu and try to connect to one of the networks taht's available there. To switch back, reconnect your DSL modem and connect as you usually do.

I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet. I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule. I get duplicate IPs error messages (no connection) sometimes when trying to connect devices to the wireless network. How do I fix? Sometimes devices cannot connect to the network because of conflicting IPs. I look on the Motorola and every device has a unique IP assigned but occasionally a device has taken the IP of another device. I have been writing down all the devices and the IPs they have been using. It happens more with PCs than Macs, ipads or iPhones.
If the Time Capsule is set up correctly in bridge mode, then it is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router to provide the correct IP address assignments for all devices on the network.
Check to insure that the Time Capsule is correctly set up to operate in bridge mode as follows:
On your Mac, open AirPort Utility
Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Insure that the setting for Router Mode is configured to read "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Once you have confirmed that the Time Capsule is configured correctly, everything else is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router as far as network routing and IP address assignments for devices.
If you continue to have IP address issues, then you should contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP) that provided the Motorola device to you and ask them to fix the issue. -
Should Iplace my ethernet switch between cable modem and airport extreme?
I'm looking for the best placement of an ethernet switch in my home network.
Should I place it "between" my cable modem and my AEBS or connect it to the output from my AEBS?
The current placement is connected to one of the AEBS outputs.
I'm attempting to set up an old AE (802.11 a/g from 2004) with a different network name than my home network, that I'm trying to set up for a college dorm network and each time I plug the AE to the switch to confirm its functionality, my network gets a little confused.
Help appreciated.
Regards,
jim P.Should I place it "between" my cable modem and my AEBS or connect it to the output from my AEBS?
This all depends on whether you have a simple modem.....or.....a modem/router or gateway combination device.
If you have a simple modem, you cannot place the switch between the modem and the AEBS. The reason for this is that the modem can only deliver one valid IP address and it will be a matter of chance as to which of the devices connected to the switch receives it. The other device connected to the switch will not be able to access the Internet.
If you have a modem/router or gateway type of device, you can place the switch after the modem/router and before the AEBS if you wish, although there is really no advantage to doing so unless this makes things easier for you in terms of hook up.
If none of this makes much sense at all to you, leave the switch in its current location connected to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AEBS since that setup will work correctly no matter what type of "modem" that you might have. -
Connecting AX and ethernet wire to cable modem (and ARD).
Hi all,
This has to be easy, but after 10 minutes of searching, I can't readily find the answer.
I have a cable modem (with one port) which works with my Macbook just fine. I plugged in an Airport Express (and used wireless only) and it works fine also, EXCEPT:
When using Apple Remote Desktop (the latest version) to control the Macs at my office, the status of all remote Macs is: Screen Sharing. When I connect to a remote system, I can see and control that Mac, but I can't copy anything either way (from remote to local or visa-versa).
When connected to the cable modem with an ethernet cable, everything works fine.
SO, I would like to connect maybe a 3 port hub to the cable modem and use both the ethernet cable and the AX (for other computers & iPhone) at the same time. Will this work? Can someone suggest a good hub/switch for this if it does?
Secondly, is there a way to use ARD on a wireless computer? It would be nice to go to a hot-spot and control my remote Macs.
Thanks.
mike p.SO, I would like to connect maybe a 3 port hub to the cable modem and use both the ethernet cable and the AX (for other computers & iPhone) at the same time. Will this work?
No. You need a router not an Ethernet hub (or switch). The AX can't do the job because it only has a single Ethernet port.
Secondly, is there a way to use ARD on a wireless computer?
Sure. It works just like any other computer behind a router. You must configure the computer to be at a fixed IP address and then forward/map the appropriate ports through the router to the computer. -
Apple USB Modem, receiving a fax, and ethernet network
I am wondering whether the Apple USB modem will allow me to configure an intel Imac such that the iMac can be connected to a network via built-in Ethernet (all, other iMacs) and simultaneously receive faxes with a phone line connected to the USB modem. I have looked for this topic and come up empty … any help out there?
ThanksThanks for responding.
I am trying to set up receiving faxes for incorporation into medical records. I have purchased an Apple USB modem but have not been able to figure out how to configure the modem to answer the phone (or to show up in fax/print set-up window).
I have a cable modem that is connected to a router for internet connectivity. The rest of the work stations (all iMacs) share our office software via the built-in ethernet configured in Network of System Preferences. Also within preferences, external modem is "configured, but not connected". When I try to use the configure option, I am prompted for information that I don't have or need for connecting to the internet. Clicking the Modem button displays the type of modem and other general info. Applying these settings leaves the modem "configured, but not connected". Under printer-fax set-up, I have everything filled in but when I choose the Set Up Fax Modem button, nothing shows up under Fax List. I have the very same phone line connected to the modem that was connected to my fax machine (and switching it back allows the fax machine to work).
I am running OS X 10.4.9 and have seen some threads regarding faxing issues that may be present in this version. I will try the 10.4.10 update to osee if this solves the problem but would welcome any other suggestions. -
Virgin cable modem to Ethernet Switch to 3 Macs and Time Capsule
So here's my headache...
I've got a Virgin Cable Modem which I am hoping to connect to a Time Capsule (so iPhone can share WiFi connection), a NetGear Ethernet Switch which connects by ethernet cables to a MacBook Pro, new iMac i7, G4 Cube (not such an issue), ancient PC (also not such an issue). Typing this, I have the modem connected to the switch, connected to my MacBook Pro. This part is perfect. I can connect the modem directly to the MacBook Pro and still as Father Jobs intended it.
ISSUES:
1. Time Capsule does not see any cables connected to it. Having performed all kinds of resets, swapping cables, connecting the modem directly and via the switch, it still doesn't like it. My guess is that the ports are buggered, even though the green lights on the back are on (are they supposed to stay on without cables in?). However, I can access the internal hard drive wirelessly from the MBP.
2. The iMac (brand new) will not recognise the modem, whether connected directly to the modem, or via the switch. It gives me a 169.254 IP address, however it will see the MBP on the network. Could it be that the ethernet port in the iMac is buggered also, yet how can it see the network?
3. Similar story with the G4 Cube. That gives me a 169. IP address.
4. The PC doesn't let me connect anymore also, where before the arrival of the Macs, it was happy to run directly through the modem.
Do I have a defective Time Capsule and iMac or is there something I'm missing...?
All advice greatly appreciated, thanks.Hi. Yes, have used AU which had worked previously in my old home, but here it tells me that there is no cable connected in the WAN port (when there is). I can use the AU to access the internal HD wirelessly, but I cannot link to the internet through it with or without wires, since it believes nothing is connected.
I have checked the network and MBP, iMac and G4 Cube can all see each other via ethernet, yet only the MBP can automatically connect to the internet via DCHP be it directly connected to the modem, or connected via the switch. Inputting the settings manually just tells me it cannot connect. -
I have just purchased an iPad 2. I have wi-fi for roku and have connected the iPad to it. I want to print to my usb printer. My connection is: Cox Cable spit to telephone and broadband. The broad band feed goes to a Cox modem and feeds the wi-fi. The Cisco Linksys E2500, wi-fi's the Roku and iPad. Can I USB from the wi-fi to the printer, configure (however), and then print from my iPad?
If not, how?
All comments will be appreciated.
