Network tab shows up as removable Volume
Hi,
For some odd reason, on my Powerbook G4, the network tab in Finder windows, shows up as a Removable Volume. That is, with the "remove" triangle, next to it. I also can't access the Network Window directly from the "Go" menu in the Finder.
Both symptoms disappear when I "Force Restart" the Finder. However they appear again when I start up the Powerbook.
Any ideas as how to fix this?

Ian,
Have you tried re-assigning the drive letter to a higher letter. I have ten drives on my system which would confuse the ipod so I had to use a letter above "M".

How do I remove the live stock quote from the tabs on my iCloud features. I had downloaded a stock feature but now all my tabs show Google's stock price rather than Note, Calendar etc.
Hey -
I need to do the EXACT same thing, but have no idea how. Has anyone out there done this?
My situation is a tad different..this is a new Mac (and I'm a brand new Mac user). Tons of querks occur under my original account (videos won't run, Safari won't support certain plug-ins). I spent 6 hours on the phone w/ 4 different Apple Reps and nobody could fix it. A rep finally looked at my MacBook Pro in person today. He created a new account just to see if that would work and under that new account, everything works perfectly fine (no querks, can view video). He tried switching a million settings in my original account to no avail.
He said to create a new account (as he did) and move my files over to the new account and then go back to the original and delete it. How do you do this?! I can't figure it out! I've got a new account created, but of course it just has the default folders in it w/ the little red icons next to them! Thanks in advance! -
I have a problem, all of a sudden! The network tab on the home screen doesn't show anymore, I tried doing everything, I reset all the settings, tried removing the battery and so, I played with all the settings. And still no conclusion!!
If anyone can help me figure out the problem, I'd be gratefull !!OK, you're speaking of the area at the top of the home screen, in the image below where the time 12:21 and battery on the left and network on the right are shown? That area for you is blank, no time, network or battery indicator?
Are you running any third party themes on your device?

Screen Sharing/network problem seems confined to 1 volume. What's the fix?
I am having a networking problem on one of the volumes of my multi-volumed, three-Mac local area network, and I need a networking guru to identify the specific software file(s), application(s), or system configuration that is the cause of the problem. I have already spent several hours checking and re-checking the various hardware and system preference settings involved, and I have narrowed the problem down to a software corruption issue and/or system configuration issue on one volume.
I now need someone to identify specifically what the nature of the problem is, and how to eliminate it. I am not looking for a sledgehammer solution that says I should re-install all of the Mac OS X software on the problem volume. That may be held in reserve as a last resort. I'm looking for a more elegant approach, one that points out the specific corrupt files to remove without disturbing everything else.
Here's some background to set the context. I have a MacBook Pro laptop; a PowerMac iMac G5; and a PowerMac G4 hooked up in a network. All are running Leopard 10.5.8. All have file sharing and screen sharing enabled. Besides being able to connect to each other using registered users, my goal here is for each of the Macs to be able to share the screen of the others upon my demand. Since each of the 3 Macs can theoretically share the screens of the other 2, that makes a total of six possible connections. Five succeed; one does not. That's the problem. I am trying to determine why the iMac G5 cannot share the screen of the MacBook Pro.
The iMac G5 has no problem sharing the screen of the PowerMac G4. That connection is fast and immediate. But, every time that I hit the Share Screen button on the iMac G5 to try to connect to the MacBook Pro, I get a window with the blue barber pole spinning for two or three minutes as it is allegedly "Connecting to Mac Book Pro," followed by a window with a headline telling me that "Connection Failed to MacBook Pro." The text within that window goes on to say: "Please make sure that Screen Sharing (in the Sharing section of System Preferences) is enabled on the computer to which you are attempting to connect. Also make sure that your network connection is working properly."
Well, as I indicated, the PowerMac G4 has no problem sharing the screen of the MacBook Pro, so the Screen Sharing settings on the laptop are correct; and the iMac G5 can share the screen of the PowerMac G4, so its network connection is working properly in that regard. It is only in regards to sharing the screen of the MacBook Pro that the iMac G5 is not working properly.
The reason why I say that the issue must be unique to the one volume in question, let's call it "iMacG5 Music," is that another Leopard volume on the same computer has no problem whatsoever in sharing the screen of the MacBook Pro. Whenever I boot up in that volume, let's call it "iMacG5 JMB," it makes a network connection with a registered user name immediately, and it is able to share the screen of the MacBook Pro within a second of my issuing the command. In sharp contrast to the success of the iMacG5 JMB volume, the iMacG5 Music is unacceptably slow (several minutes slow!) in making a network connection with the MacBook Pro, and it always fails to share the screen of the MacBook Pro, preferring instead to take about three minutes to attempt the connection, before announcing its failure.
Since the iMacG5 Music volume makes an immediate network connection to the PowerMac G4, as well as sharing the screen of the PowerMac G4 the moment I ask it to, I have concluded that the hardware of the iMac G5 is just fine. The problem seems confined to the system software and/or associated networking files that are unique to the iMacG5 Music volume. I just don't know what those files could be, or where the problem lies, so I've issued this call for help.
Let me add one more little twist to this puzzle which baffles me even more. I use external LaCie Firewire drives as clone backups of my Macs. As part of my trouble-shooting process, I booted up from the cloned versions of the iMacG5 JMB volume and the iMacG5 Music volume. What I learned surprised me!
The iMacG5 JMB clone worked just fine in making a fast network connection to the MacBook Pro, as well as sharing the screen of the MacBook Pro. I expected that. What I did not expect was that the iMacG5 Music clone was also able to make a fast network to the MacBook Pro, as well as share its screen!
Yes, that's right. It's weird! Screen sharing works OK when I start-up from the clone of the iMacG5 Music volume, but it does not succeed when I boot up on the source itself! I was surprised to find that out, but I'm glad I did.
(Over the past few days since I executed the last clone, I did use Drive Genius to de-frag the source volume, and maybe that has contributed to the problem I am now encountering. But it's hard to say, since nothing else seems to be amiss.)
One solution, I suppose, would be to sync the clone back to the source. But, before I do that, I'm just wondering if anyone has a clue as to the nature of this problem on the source volume and what I might do to remedy it—short of re-installing the system software or restoring from the clone. Anyone have any insight to this problem?CORRECTION #2:
Ignore the previous "CORRECTION" post.
Oops, excuse me, I wrote that sentence correctly the first time.
I was trying to point out that the ability of the iMac G5 computer to connect quickly and effectively to the PowerMac G4 when booted up into the iMacG5 Music volume was an indication (to me, anyway) that there is nothing wrong with the computer's hardware, nor its network connection ability, but that the problem lay somewhere in the files/settings used to connect to the MacBook Pro, which it cannot accomplish.
This is what happens when I get engrossed in one of these technical morasses and it ***** me into its vortex all through the night... time for bed. -
I want to remove volumes from 'Import' - 'Select a source' list
Hi all,
First, I'm using the new Lightroom v4.1 on a Windows 7 x64 system.
As the title to my question suggests, I'm trying (without success) to remove volumes from the list that's shown when a user clicks on the 'Import' button (lower left of screen) and 'Select a source' which, naturally, shows all the drives in my system.
There are five volumes; four internal and one external.
There are only two drives which contain photos that I'm interestered in importing/editing.
The other drives contain files that I have no interest in editing or organizing.
For example, several hundred (scanned and collected) very old family photos that I wish to keep pristine, with no editing of any kind. As for placing them in collections, I already have them in dated, carefully named folders.
So, as this is a shared computer, I want to remove the volumes (drives) so that the aforementioned photos can't be inadvertantly imported.
Can someone please point me in the right direction how to do this?
Thank you.
Yours,
HughThere is nothing within Lightroom that will cause it to ignore a specific drive permanently. You'd have to go above Lightroom to the system level to prevent Lightroom from seeing the drive. Not sure how to do that, but it's probably possible.

I have an iPhone 4 and when I go into settings>general, the Network tab is not showing up. It also says that I have a VPN, but will not show an APN. I downloaded the iPhone Config Utility, but I'm not sure what I need to do once I have that open to fix this problem. Is it even fixable? I just started using StraightTalk today and want to get all this figured out so I can have access to data. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!
There are two laptops already on the network and working. On the new laptop, when I go to sign on to the network, there is one named "linksys" on it but not "ralphsnetwork". When I put the wireless code in, I get "wireless code mismatch". The other two laptops show "ralphsnetwork" as the network they are connected to. Should the name of my network show up on the new laptop? Or is the one showing up named "linksys" actually my network. If it is, my wireless code will not work on it.

Wifi option disappeared from system preferences network tab
I used wifi at home in the morning, with no problem. I used ethernet during the day at work. When I got home, wifi wasn't working. At first, it was still an option in the Network tab of System Preferences (along with Ethernet, Firewire & Bluetooth PAN). When I clicked on 'Assist Me,' and started the process, I wasn't able to give the information needed. When I clicked 'Go Back' until I got to the main Network screen, the 'WiFi' option was no longer present. It is also not an option with I click on the "+" button to add a network option. In addition, on the top bar, the WiFi icon is greyed out, with an 'X' in it. Clicking on it shows: "WiFi: No Hardware Installed."
To add to the fun, when I called Apple Support, he had some resets in mind to try, but my computer will not stay off. Clicking 'Shut Down,' turns it off, but then right back on. Holding the power button turns it off, but he had me unplug the power for a minute, then plug it back in. When I do plug back in, it restarts again, on its own.
Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!In many cases, this issue is caused by a hardware fault. A short circuit or a microscopic break in a solder joint may open and close depending on temperature, making the failure intermittent.
Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. If you can connect to the Internet via Ethernet, Bluetooth, or a USB network device, make sure all available OS X updates are installed. If Wi-Fi is your only means of network access, skip this step.
2. Reset the NVRAM.
3. Reset the System Management Controller.
4. Start up in Recovery mode. In the menu bar of the OS X Utilities screen, there's a Wi-Fi menu. If it works, selectInstall OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
5. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. -

multiple windows open in safari when click on web site. Also can't change/edit DNS servers or any other changes in advance window of network tab.
Basically every time i click on website other windows open and get redirected to other websites selling something (same as that mackeeper site which seems to open often) Really ***** as in just a few minutes on the web I have many windows open and many are the same pages. Can't make changes in the advanced tab of network as options are greyed out and the + & - symbols do nothing when clicked. Hope there is an easy answer as surfing net is really sucking right nowI hope to get some more info on a similar situation.
I have a new Mac Pro, less than 2 months old. OSX 10.5 updated to 10.5.2. Quicktime updated too. When I use the Desktop and Screen Saver system pref, I can easily select and use one of the Apple supplied desktop pictures as a desktop background.
But I wish to use a Photo from an iPhoto (iLife 08) folder / album as the desktop background. I can find all the albums, I can see all the icons for the pictures, I can select an iconed pciture and it appears in the top left of the preference pane (showing the effect of "fit to window" or "stretch to fit", etc). But all I get is a pale blue screen (which might be my default desktop colour). I don't get any of my iPhoto album pics to appear as a dektop background.
There is one minor note on this, I don't keep the pictures in my iPhoto Library, I just reference them, and the originals are on a different internal disk.
I've tried the suggestions above, trashing finder and desktop plists, killall Finder, etc. restart. Nothing gets it working again. It did work originally, for most of the time I've had the Mac Pro, then I changed the dektop to an Apple supplied picture of Earth.
This affects both an Admin, and a standard user. The photos (and enclosing folders) are read / writable by the admin user, and readable by the Standard user. Both users can easily access the photos in their iPhoto. They open the original files on the second internal drive, and performing a right click - Show File shows the original file as expected. I've even emptied the iPhoto library completely and rebuilt it, just in case there was an issue here.
Any ideas ? or anyone else seen this ? I don't really want to start reformatting disks and reinstalling the OS, but any suggestions short of this are extremely welcome. -

the wifi router could also be blocking
and to really test if the windows firewall is the problem then try turning it off!
if that scare you too much then disable the internet modem / cable modem or the likes while you test
always remove more and more factors when troubleshooting sooner or later it will work and you can narrow down which factor did the job and work on that -

I think this should be just the directory

Are the entries in that tnsnames correct? SQLDeveloper will stop parsing the file if it encounters a syntax error, even although other tools can still use it.
What error do you get when you try to connect with the basic tab?
Status : Failure - test failed Io exception: The network adapter could not establish the connection
This error usually means a fundamental network problem - wrong host name for instance, or a firewall blocking connections.

I know that the infomation for the basic connection is correct, for it works at home (on diffrent PC) with the same settings.
Can you do telnet hostname 1521? If you can connect, you won't get a response, but you may get a more informative error?

Visual Studio Tabs - Show Title instead of Work Item Number?
When opening individual work items in Visual Studio, the tab in the document well just says "Task 100485" or "Bug 38374". Is there a way to instead have it show the Title of the work item? Just showing the number isn't really
helpful when quite a few are kept open.Hi Brian,
Thanks for your post.
We show view the work item Title in each opened work item form in VS. As the work item’s tab has fixed width in VS, so if show the work item Title in each work item’s tab in VS, it will costs the wide width, if work item’s title is long, maybe two or three
work item tabs can show in VS at the same time.
As far as I know there’s no default way to change work item’s tab show work item Title in VS. For this scenario, please
submit it to User Voice site at: http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio. Microsoft engineers will evaluate them seriously.

Upon starting FF and going to my Home Page, I have no Bookmarks or Tabs showing. I have to Re-load the Bookmark Tabs. My options at Startup are "Show my Windows & Tabs from last time" Also using the Firefox exit,it does not ask to save tabs & windows on Exit. I'm getting tired of adding Bookmark Tabs each time I want to use FF.
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.
My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

i have an iphone 3G 16GB 4.2.1 - i moved back to canada and got telus mobile service. they cant get phone working because cellular data network tab/button is not on my phone. How do i get it on there
OK. T-Mobile is NOT owned by AT&T... yet... The deal hasn't gone through yet. T-Mobie's US network is not compatible with the iPhone. Lots of things don't work right. There is not, and never has been an unlocked 3G sold in the US. Don't know where the phone originated, but more than likely it was in the US. If that's the case, the phone has been hacked/jailbroken to get it to work.
Have you tried doing a restore or restoring the phone as new? I have to warn you, if you do so and the phone is hacked/jailbroken, it will re-lock to AT&T and will become unusalbe. I think your best bet right now might be to save yourself a lot of grief and just upgrade to new phone from a legitimate source.
I would never even consider buying an iPhone on ebay. 99% or more are hacked, jailbroken and/or stolen. -
I can not see the PC I'm connected to over VPN in the MY Network tab.
Hi,
I have set up my incoming connection for my VPN
on a Windows 8.1 PC. I can then remotely log in with my Windows 7 laptop. The laptop establishes a connection and says that I have "ipv4 internet access."
The problem I'm having is that I can’t find the PC in my network. What am I missing? Is Windows 7 not compatible with Windows 8.1 over
a VPN? I have turned off my Norton's Firewall for a short period of time but this did not change anything. I have altered the IP range allocation for the incoming connection and this has helped to establish a stable connection.
Any ideas on why I can not see the PC I'm connected to, in the (MY
Network) tab, would be much appreciated. ThanksHi Steve,
The main issue is the Windows 8.1 machine is not listed in the Windows 7 machine via VPN ,right ?
Please check the following settings in the network and sharing center:
1.Check these settings in the Advanced sharing settings
“Turn on network discovery” and “turn on file and print sharing”
2.Ping the destination machine both with the IP address and the UNC to have a check .
Best regards
