Need to set static IP for iMac

I have a fairly elaborate home network. I want my iMac to always use the same IP address when it connects because I use it for web development and need it to consistently identify itself on the network. At the same time I need DHCP on for some other devices which connect wirelessly to ask for an IP. I've limited my DHCP server to about 50 addresses from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150 so there is plenty of room outside that range for me to choose a single IP for this iMac.
The problem is that when I open the Network control panel and choose "Using DHCP with manual address" and enter something like 192.168.1.2 then the iMac forgets its DNS Server, Search Domains, and router and I can't seem to get any DNS on the machine. I can ping the iMac from my other computer and I can ping my local LAN machines from the iMac but from the iMac I cannot ping any domain names like yahoo.com nor can I ping any IP outside my LAN such as 60.180.206.184).
If anyone can explain to me how to set this up, I would greatly appreciate it.

Set your Mac to completely manual configuration and type in the desired IP, subnet mask, router and DNS and you're ready to go. You can also use DHCP with manual address, but in this case most routers won't tell your Mac the correct DNS server, so I'd recommend to set all settings manually.

Need to set default values for the fields plant and location in ME21N

Hi All,
i need to set default values for the fields plant and location in ME21N tcode.
In accout assignment if we give 'A' then we need to create asset by clicking the Asset tab,there you have the fields plant and location.
How to resolve this?
Thanks in Advance

hi .
i needed to set default strorage location and plant in personal setting in me21n.
i solve it with this way.
go to program SAPLMEPERS in se38.
create new function in output with the sample name :MODULE ZTEST_001 OUTPUT.
in this module write:
if MEPOITEM_PROP-WERKS is INITIAL and MEPOITEM_PROP-LGORT is INITIAL.
MEPOITEM_PROP-WERKS = '1000'.
MEPOITEM_PROP-LGORT = '0032'.
endif.
this is the solution.

How to set static IP for C4599 printer ???

Was afraid if we clicked 'answered' <per 'answer' below> we may never get an answer to a followup question to 'PrintDoc' at http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Networking&thread.id=5277 .
Hopefully this re-post will help.
Question/s...
1. When trying to set 'static IP', and click on 'this' link ( http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/Networking/message-id/NetGear%20'RangeMax'%20... ) at your email < below> get...

Re: C4599, wireless Error-Printing, unable to 'communicate' with the device ???
Sure we can set a static IP (actually we are going to reserve an IP address - even better). But first, please mark the post that helped you solve the problem as "Accepted Solution".
Connect to the wireless router by typing the IP address of the wireless router in the address field of your browser, then click Enter. 192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of the wireless router. The wireless router will prompt you to enter the user name of 'admin' and the password. The default password is 'password'.
See the procedure on page 8-16 of this < http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/Networking/message-id/NetGear%20'RangeMax'%20... > document to reserve and IP address for your printer.
You will need the MAC address of your printer (this is on the Network Config Page you printed from the front panel of the printer).

Thank you for the followup.
Just got back to this thread after trying what you suggested re new install program.
Months ago, when originally tried to install new C4500, spent weekend, literally 4hrs on a Sat and 4hrs the following Sun with HP support on the phone trying to get C4500 wireless to work.
Finally downloaded a new install program and after installing that and making other numerous setup adjustments, which I cant remember, it worked (the only saving grace for the time spent) for a while.
But for the sake of trying, we did put in the original disk, just like page 4 (or our original paper manual) instructed (per your last post).
The disk loaded and the program did its thing and then get...
"A newer version fo this software is alredy installe on you HP HPPhotosmare C4500 series computer."
So clicked 'finish'.
Then loaded...
PS_AIO_04_C4500_USW_Full_Win_enu_120_210_NB.exe
...which we thougth was the new installer program which we downloaded those months ago (same one you suggested).
Started the '4 step' process.
Got to 'step 3' and it connected to printer with usb cable.
Along the way got message from 'network diagnostics'...
"The PC and the printer are connected to different networks(192.168.1.0 and 192.168.0.0). They must be connected to the same network. This can happen when you use the manufacturer's default network name (SSID) and another nearby network is using the same name.
The gateway address of the printer does not match the network to which the printer is connected. Reconfigure the setting on your printer to match."
Tried changing ip addresses at network settings, but no help.
Clicked on disregard and proceed.
Started 'Network diagnostics' and got...
HPPhotoshopEssential 'install' bar window.
Either way, disk or new install program, get pop-up window with message...
'The feature you are tryong to use is on a CD-ROM or tother removabledisk that inot available. Insert the 'HPPyotosmartEsesential' disk and click OK."
Moved HP .msi and .cab files to same directory with ...NB.exe file.
Install went ahead, and then needed 'setup.exe'.
Opened setup.exe at disk and install went ahead.
Installed latext updated 'HP Solution Center'.
It showed both the C4500usb and wireless, but still wireless not 'connected'.
Ran diagnostics and got same 'diagnostics' message as above.
Made sure hardware enabled etc.
How to fix ?

Need help setting up Network on iMac so I can WiFi my iPod Touch

Have 1st Gen iPod touch with Stanza app (book reader). Need to set up WiFi Network connection on my iMac (Leopard 10.5.5) so I can connect to internet with iPod touch and download books into Stanza. Need detailed info on how to do this, please. I've tried using the setup assistant in Network, but nothing I enter works. I use BellSouth DSL internet service, so don't have to log in each time I turn on DSL. It appears it's a DHCP configuration. Can anyone help me with this, please. Thanks very much.

Thanks for your reply, Julian. Actually, I'd had my iMac set up properly since last Sept., but my brother has now moved in with me and he also has a new iMac and a new iPod touch and I was trying to remember how to set up the network on his Mac so he could use his Mac with his iPod touch to do his downloads using the network connection from his own computer. I do not have a router. We share our BellSouth DSL modem by simply moving it from one Mac to the other when we want to get on the internet. Both Macs have built in Airport, which is what I know I'd been using - I say BEEN using, because today I really screwed up my Mac when I was trying to remember how to set up the network and now I can no longer use my iPod touch-to-iMac WiFi function either.
When I first set up my network, I got help from someone in a forum and thought I'd printed and kept the very simply instructions he gave me, but I can't find them. I seem to remember him telling me I'd have to get my Mac's IP address, which I have, but when I go thru the network setup assistant it doesn't ask me to enter it anywhere. Also, the setup assistant tells me that I can't connect automatically to the internet, which is not true. I don't have to log in when I plug in my modem - I'm automatically connected.
I'm familiar with internet sharing, cause that's what I've been using when I downloaded apps updates, etc. But now, I can't even get Airport to turn on. The more I try, the more confused and frustrated I get. I'm usually pretty good with this kind of thing, but I'm completely baffled now.
I do want, and think this is what I was doing before I screwed things up today, to share my Mac's wired internet connection to the iPod touch wirelessly, as you said, and which is what I'd been doing. Can you help me? It was so easy the last time I did this, but I just can't get it done now!
Did I screw things up because I already had one network set up on my Mac and was trying to set up another one on my Mac (just to test it out before I tried to do it on my brother's Mac)? HELP!
Thanks for your help.

Need help setting up file for program Ai CS5 Mac

Hello everyone, I am hoping you can help me with something. I am having a 20 page conference program printed through a 3rd party company.The printer sent me back the proof today and on almost every page my artwork is being chopped off.
This is the email sent with the proof today:
" I want you to look at these spreads and tell me if this is how you visualized your finished pages? A lot of your art is being cut off. The finished size is 11x17. You sent pages that were 9x12, so I used them at 100% on the 12x18 press sheet. You only need to provide a 1/8" bleed, not a 1/2". You also have bleeds on the centers of the spreads. Those should not have a bleed. Only the outside 3 edges should bleed.
I had trouble getting all of the art to line up."
Printer Info:
They print on 12/18 trimmed down to 11 x 17 (for full bleed)
Requested bleed: 1/8
They print out of Quark
I was told I can send them individual PDFs and they will paginate them (in order and add page numbers)
I created a file in Ai CS5 with 20 artboards (one for each page of the program) Now, the trim marks should be placed at 1 inch because they are trimming 1 inch from the top and 1 inch from the bottom. The bleed should be 1/8 so 0.125 on the 3 "outside" edges. Is this correct?
I primarily do lay-outs, the person responsible for this project bailed last minute so I am a bit stuck. If I am designing it as individual pages what are the exactly dimensions, bleed, and trim marks needed for each page to be set up correctly for the printer to paginate. Should I also add a .5 margin along the edges as a safe zone or is that not necessary because of the bleed?
Let me know if I didn't provide enough information. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance!

It is often just simpler to build your pages (or spreads) to the actual size of the press sheet.
I'll assume this is a saddle-stitched booklet.
The press sheets will be 12 x 18 inches.
It will be printed, then, as 11 x 17 printer spreads.
That means it will have a half inch (not a whole inch) between the trims and the press sheet edges on all four sides.
There will be three-eights inch between the bleed and the edges.
(This is crowding things a tad; typically one tries to allow at least a half-inch gripper margin.)
Anyway....
1. Setup the document with twenty 9x12 vertical Artboards, with zero spacing, in two columns. Zero Bleed.
(Often, depending on the nature of the content, I would choose to build such a thing as ten 12 x 18 Artboards, with content already arranged as printing spreads, thus eliminating the need for stripping. But in the following, you'll go ahead and make 20 separate Artboards, abutted in pairs, and treat these as two-page reader spreads, to make layout easy, and to accommodate artwork that may jump the gutter.)
2. Turn on Show Grid. Turn on Snap To Grid.
Rectangle Tool: Click the page. In the dialog, specify a 17 x 11 rectangle. This corresponds to your trim.
Rectangle Tool: Click the page. In the dialog, specify a 17.25 x 11.25 rectangle. This corresponds to your bleed.
Center align the two rectangles to each other, both horizontally and vertically.
3. Zoom in. White Pointer: Snap the upper left corner of the rectangles to the grid at .375 H and .375 V of the top left Artboard.
4. Convert the two rectangles to Guides. (View>Guides>Make)
5. Line Tool: Snapping to the grid, draw your own trim marks at each corner, outboard of the trim. Use .25 pt. stroke weight. Registration color.
6. Unlock Guides. (turn off View>Guides>Lock)
7. Black Pointer: Marquee select around all the trim marks and the two rectangluar Guides.
DoubleClick the Black Pointer. In the resulting Move dialog, enter a vertical movement of 12" and click copy.
Transform Again (Ctrl D) 8 times.
Now you have a set of trim guides, bleed guides, and trim marks on all 10 two-page reader spreads.
8. Create the content as if the pairs of Artboards are facing pages of reader spreads. The top pair are the front and back. The other pairs are sequentially-numbered reading speads. Set up this way, your artwork can jump the gutter when desired. You can put other printer's marks (sep names, etc.) in the bleed area if needed.
9. Save A Copy to PDF with Use Artboards checked. The resulting PDF will contain 9x12 vertical pages. Viewed as spreads in Acrobat, you can see that the pages align.
10. But when they are printed, they will be stripped into two-page printing spreads, ordered like so:

What do I need to set in order for each instance of the step type in the sequence to act individually?

I'm not able to change parameters on one step without it changing the parameters on another instance of the step within the same sequence. Is there something in the step type properties that I need to set to change this?
For instance, I have created a custom step called "Battery PWR" that the user can insert into a sequence, hit the "edit" button, set a control in a GUI to 12V and hit an "Okay" button so that the post-step condition causes the power supply voltage to change. Then, later in the sequence I want the user to be able to insert the same custom step, hit the edit button, set the control to 0V and hit an "Okay" button so that the post-step conditition causes the power supply to go to 0V. The problem is, when the user edits one of the steps, it causes the other step to change to the same value.
I know that this has a simple fix, just can't seem to find it.

I answered my own question. I was reading and writing to a file global instead of the step parameters, so I was basically overwriting my variables each time I edited the step. I'm obviously a novice TestStand user.

Need bootable external Firewire drive for iMac G5

I need an external Firewire drive for an iMac G5 PC with OSX leopard that I can format to be BOOTABLE. Don't know where to buy one or even if they're available. I've bought 3 different drives on eBay, thinking each was what I needed, and none were.
I'm frustrated.
Would appreciate. Any helpful info.

Do I need rtexprvalue set to true for a String that will vary from page to page?

Hi I am a newbie to JSP tags. I have done enough reading so far to see
          that if I want an attribute of the tag to be a scriplet ie:
          <foor:bar name="<%=myObj.getName()%>" />
          then the rtexprvalue for this attribute in the TLD needs to be true.
          My question is what if I have an attribute that will not be read from
          a scriplet but will vary from page to page. ie:
          <foo:authorize securityLevel="1"> but on another page it will be
          <foo:authorize securityLevel="3"> etc.. Since many servlet containers
          create only one instance of the tag class and then re-use them from a
          pool do I need to set rtexprvalue to true for an attribute like this
          to make sure the tag reads the correct one as I go from page to page?


          You do not need to set rtexprvalue to true for the situation you describe.

What property settings to I need to set in order for VISA Serial Read to read ASCII exactly like the legacy serial read vi?

I have successfully built a vi which communicates with a piece of equipment via the serial port using ASCII characters. I am trying to replace the older versions of Serial Read and Write VIs with the VISA Serial Read and Write VIs. The VISA Write works fine, but the when reading data coming from the "box", the VISA Read VI returns string data with foreign looking characters instead of the usual correct ASCII characters as shown by a dumb terminal which is in parallel with the serial data line. Is there a special property node which needs to be configured on the VISA Serial Read vi, or do I need to set something on the VISA Configure Serial port v
i?
Why aren't the VISA serial vis compatible with the older serial vis?
Thanks...

Usually, garbage characters are an indication of a baud rate or parity mismatch, or maybe a stop bit or number of data bits setting. Make sure that you have configured your port correctly with VISA Configure Serial Port. I have used VISA serial successfully many times.

Need help setting up MoCa for superior speed for upstair room in house

Hey guys i need some help. I just upgraded my plan to the 50/20 Fios and now i really want that speed upstairs to my gameroom. Before i had the 10/2 plan where wireless was sufficient (i could get 9mpbs download speed wirelessly everywhere i needed internet using the mi424wr)
But now this crappy (no offense ) router is just not sufficient for the 50mbps download speed. Even if my laptop is RIGHT NEXT to the router, i only get max speed of 20 - 23mpbs download. Whereas if im connected via ethernet, i get the full 50+Mbps download speed. For some reason the upload speed is fine at over 20mpbs. (Anyone has any explanation for this? If other 2.4ghz devices were causing interferences, shouldnt the upload speed be affected also?) And Yes, i have changed the channel to 11 (every other wifi network is on 6)
I also have this hawking high gain antenna connected to the router: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833164156
In any case i feel that MoCa would be a much cheaper and more reliable approach to achieve better speeds compared to buying a wireless n dual band router & adapter
Currently i have the ONT connect to the WAN Router VIA Coax
I also have Dish network for Tv services with the STB upstairs (same room where i want the Ethernet from MoCa to connect to PC,PS3). Not sure if relevent, but the dish is set up so that my downstair tv has acces to Dish tv VIA the coax connected to the STB upstairs. So ONE STB provides TV upstairs AND TV downstairs with dish services via Coax.
From the various articles i have read, this is my understanding of what i should do but of course im a newbie so i need your suggestions. I should add splitter the coax coming out of the ONT and connect one split to the router and the other split to the wall? then upstairs add a splitter to the coax connection from the wall and split one for dish STB and split one for MoCa actiontec which will then be connect to the internet and i could run ethernet from MoCa actiontec to ps3 and PC.
Is that anywhere even close to a working solution or im just dreaming that it would this easy? lol
Thanks for all the help!

The actiontec router is b/g mode only and I've changed it from mixed to g only. I wish they had upgraded my router with the services but nope still have the crappy actiontec router.
If you read my post I've already changed the channel most appropriate for me.
I've also read that post about interferences but if im literally ONE feet away from the router, I should atleast get above 40 mbps download speed. Why is my upload speed above 20mbps but Download speed can't exceed 23mbps?
Is there a possible solution for moca to coexist with dish services? A special splitter to seperate both lines? Or is powerline my only option?
Keep in mind, with Wireless you're limited by the fact that it is also a Half Duplex connection by design (can only send OR receive on a radio, can't do both like you can on Full Duplex Wired connections) which reduces speeds, and also protocol overhead which increases as you add additional devices to an access point.and increase traffic in a broad scale. So, if you're getting 22-25Mbps on Wireless G, that's about all you're going to get from it. 54Mbps is a theoretical limit with the assumption you've cut down all overhead, have a full duplex connection and are not encountering noise.
I recall seeing something on DSLReports about using MoCa with a Satellite TV provider, and it involved a lot of filtering within the coaxial to work. Ideally, you're best using a dedicated line for Coaxial if you're going to use MoCa to cut down on the complexity and risks caused by using a satellite system's coax.

Need a compatible laserjet printer for imac (2009) OSX10.10

I need a new printer and would like a laser jet, if possible. I have a 2009 iMac with OSX10.10 Yosemite. This is just for my home use and don't need anything fancy. Please help with a compatible recommendation.

There are too many to list by every laser manufacturer. I'd suggest determining your needs such as do you want/need color, do you want/need a multifunction (i.e. scan, fax, copy, print) etc. then once you have determined your needs visit your local office supply store and look to see which are OS X compatible.

Need the newest flash player for imac osx 10.4.11

Hi, I have an iMac OSX 10.4.11 & everything I used to use won't work because it tells me to update my flash player to version 10. But when I try, it says that it's not supported by my operating system. I can't upgrade the system, I have no budget for that. I don't know what to do. I need a flash player that will make things work for me again, but I can't upgrade, what do I do?

The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a later version installed.
