Network Utility-Accidently Lost

Hey everyone,
I am new to mac and i accidently deleted the network utility file (thought it wouldn't permanently vanish if i removed it from the dock like an application). Anyway, i couldn't find it on the site,the internet ,nor could i find a way to extract it from the OS installation DVD without having to reinstall the system.
Could anyone please shed some light on the situation since it is a really brilliant and simple utility and wouldn't want to have to replace it with another -if there is any- ?
Thanks in advance

Temro,
Welcome to the Forums! It shouldn't have removed it from your computer by you removing it from the dock. The default location for it is located in the /Applications/Utilities Folder. You can quickly get to this folder by, whilst in Finder by typing Command + Shift + U on your keyboard. Also if you wanted to do a quick search in Spotlight that would be good too, to do that either click on the Magnifier in the top right corner of you screen or hit Command + spacebar. Note that if you click on the finding of Network Utility it will open up in the Dock, from there you can ctrl + click it and select Keep in Dock.
If however it did actually get removed from you Mac I hear there is a way to restore it using Pacifist [Found Here|http://www.charlessoft.com> see this thread for more details http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7376327
I hope that helps,
Weston

Hi megamike1969,
I've been losing some apps also in the Dock. As Niel said I think is that you may be able to just drag them back to the Dock, if you can find them.
What I do is open Launchpad and while you're in there, drag the application to the Dock. If you can't locate the apps, then disregard this post.

Network Utility questions

When using Network Utility, under the "info" tab, how do you reset your "Transfer Statistics"? Then if doing a ping test is there a way to view how many packets were sent, received, & lost?

Thanks

Hi
+". . . if doing a ping test is there a way to view how many packets were sent, received, & lost?"+
This is what I see when I conduct a ping test:
Ping has started…
PING 192.168.10.254 (192.168.10.254): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.10.254: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.785 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.10.254: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.366 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.10.254: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.939 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.10.254: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=1.483 ms
--- 192.168.10.254 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.785/1.143/1.483/0.289 ms
As you can see at the end of the output it displays how many packets were sent and how many packets were received. You even get a round trip time. Conducting the test via Terminal (/Applications/Utilities) gives you the same information.

One way would be to disconnect the network cable (if wired) or switch off Airport (if wireless).

'Disk Utility has lost connection with Disk Management Tool' w/ RAID 10 set

Using 4 internal drives, I have specified the following setup for each:
2 partitions, 1 'speed' of 5 GB and 1 'data' of whatever remains.
The 4 speed partitions stripe to a single RAID volume correctly.
The 4 data partitions are used to make a RAID 10 volume as follows:
The first 2 data partitions are mirrored to make a 'data-A'
The next 2 data partitions are mirrored to make a 'data-B'
These complete correctly.
Upon attempting to strip data-A and data-B in order to finish the RAID 10 setup, Disk Utility quits with the following message:
"Disk Utility has lost connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility'.
A search here and on the nets reveals only that this message appeared in 10.3.x when attempting to repair disk permissions and had to do with a rogue iTunes support file. This is occurring on a blank system (no iTunes installed) so I don't think its the same cause.
Note that I was able to complete this setup under Tiger several times without issue, so it seems to be unique to Leopard. Does anyone know what is going on and hopefully suggest a workaround?

To answer my own issue and leave a marker here for others, I was able to successfully set up a RAID 10 partition using diskutil, indicating that the problem is Disk Utility itself and not the RAID implementation.
Disk Utility has proven itself to be bugridden (must restart frequently to get updated view of volumes; drops device names at various times; etc.) and this latest bug would seem to suggest that it should be avoided in favor of diskutil for any serious RAID construction.

Disk Utility has Lost Connection with the Disk Managment Tool

Hi,
For starters, this problem is not associated with the thread that Brian Z. has posted at the top of this forum. Having said that, here's my problem:
I had installed Security Update 2006-003, and Quicktime 7.1. Permissions were repaired before and after each installation, and all went well.
Some hours later, I was experimenting with Apple Remote Desktop. I had activated ARD in the System Preferences>Sharing pane, and it provided me an IP address associated with ARD. I then turned on Airport, and ARD provided me with an IP address associated with that connection. However when I turned off my modem connection, System Preferences>Sharing hung, and had to be Force Quit.
Console Log follows:
===== Mon May 15 2006 ===== 21:09:09 America/Anchorage =====
2006-05-15 21:09:17.488 System Preferences[2732] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/Menu Extra Enabler.bundle
2006-05-15 21:09:28.224 System Preferences[2732] ### Error:268435460 File:FileSharing.m Line:308

2006-05-15 21:09:48.415 System Preferences[2732] ### Error:268435460 File:FileSharing.m Line:343
Thinking a plist had become corrupted, I trashed the following:
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist
com.apple.Remotemanagement.plist
com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist.
System Preferences started out very slowly, but then all the panes except Sharing would work ok.
I booted from the install disk and performed a Disk Repair. There were no problems reported.
When I tried to run a Repair Permissions, after about 20 seconds I got the, "Disk Utility has lost connection with the disk management tool and can not continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
I quit D.U. and the Installer, and was able to successfully run a Repair Permissions from the D.U. in my Utilities folder. It had no problems to report.
Continuting to troubleshoot the System Preferences problem, I then trashed the com.apple.preferencepanes.cache. This solved my System Preferences>Sharing problem.
However, I am still unable to perform a Repair Permissions after booting from my install disk (I get the subject message). Repairing permissions from the Disk Utility in my Utilies folder works fine.
Any thoughts out there on a logical way to troubleshoot where my problem is? Is there a way to get a console log when I'm running DU from the install disk, or a comparable source??
Thanks,
Bob

I found this crash log that was generated about the time I had problems with System Preferences hanging.
Thoughts?

IMAC G4 Tiger 10.4.10 see USB Negear WG111 in Profiler not in network util

Hello,
I have a G4 running Tiger, I have a Netgear WG111 USB V2 it is recognized in System Profiler (as Cohiba 3887 rev0) but network utility does not see it. The driver is loaded into the OS. Any help?
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for the welcome... I rebooted and looked at Sys pref; Network; show; network port configurations.
I only see the built in products, eth0, firewire, modem. If I try to add one it only gives me those options and 6 to 4.
So it doesn't appear to be recognized, add to that the Netgear app which is for 10.4 is showing in my apps and when I open it it appears to hit the dock as the line moves as if it will add it but doesn't load there. This could be my issue going to try and reload it.

"Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." Trying to format my iomega external HD for use with Mac

Hi. Trying to connect iomega ext. HD. i have to reformat for Mac. When i plug in & go to Disk Utility,the external shows up and i'm supposed to click "partition". When i do, a box comes up saying ""Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." I quit and relaunched, same results. After googling my question, i came up with this:
"Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
(Quitting and reopening Disk Utility does not help.)
The following also appears in Console log:
*** malloc[419]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x290a410; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug : for architecture i386 object: ./Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes malformed object (unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD command 27 can't byte swap it)
Workaround
Quit Disk Utility.
From the Finder's Go menu, choose Go to Folder....
Type the following, then click OK: /Library/Receipts
Temporarily remove these iTunes receipts from /Library/Receipts (sort the folder alphabetically as a list):
iTunes.pkg
iTunes4.pkg
You can put them on the desktop, for example. Do not remove iTunesX.pkg or iTunes Phone Driver.pkg.
Open Disk Utility and repair disk permissions again.
Quit Disk Utility.
Put the removed iTunes receipts back in /Library/Receipts.
Note: This issue does not affect Disk Utility's verify or repair disk features.
All seemed good, for a moment, until, upon going back to Disk Utility after removing itunes4.pkg and putting on desktop (i did not have itunes.pkg to remove) the same thing was happening. When i highlite my iomega ext. on left of page, disk perrmissions is grayed and does not allow me to click on it. Same problem from the start. Can somebody please help me out here? That would soooo awesome. Thanx!

i'm just scared i will do something wrong on my own and lose my data.
You shouldn't be scared of that, because you should already have backups. If you don't have backups, then backing up is the first priority.
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and restart. When you hear the chime, hold down the C key and keep holding it until the Apple logo appears on the display. You should now see the language selection screen. Select your language, then choose Utilities > Disk Utility from the menu bar. In the Disk Utility window, select the external drive (not the internal). The drive may already have a data partition, in which case there will be another icon below the drive icon. Choose the drive icon, then select the Partition tab. Create a single partition with the default options (GUID partition table, Mac OS X Extended Journaled).
When the partitioning is done, select the startup volume on your internal drive in the DU window. Select the Restore tab. Drag the icon of the startup volume to the "Source" field. Then drag the icon of the newly-created volume on the external drive to the "Destination" field. Make sure you have this right. Then click the Restore button, and the data on your startup volume will be copied to the external drive.

How do I change the saved entry on the "Ping" page of Network Utility?

Whenever I open Network Utility and go to the "Ping" tab I see this:
support.apple.com was one of the first addresses I used on my new MacBook Pro. Is there a way to clear this or change it to something else?
Thanks!

The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.
I don't understand this reason. How would changing the file extension solve your breadcrumb issue? Why don't you explain the issue in more detail.

Unable to check available dowloads. The network connection was lost.

I get this all the time in iTunes 12.1: "unable to check available dowloads. The network connection was lost."
Sometimes it does what it's supposed to do anyway, sometimes it doesn't. I also get the: "We could nor complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection was lost". If I sign out and back in that goes way, but item #1 is still showing up all the time. Even when nothing is apparently happening?

Failed to load resource the network connection was lost

I am uploading a 2 gb file into my application using chrome in my MacBook Pro, i keep getting an error (FAILED to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET) when the file is 100% uploaded and the file starts uploading from the beginning (1%... and so on). This issue is not happening when i am doing the file upload using chrome in my windows 7 machine. I Also noticed in the same MacBook if i upload through Safari i get the same error (failed to load resource the network connection was lost). Please let me know what additional information i can provide technically.
Regards,
Charan

common guys..nobody have any solution for this...i have seen many people complaining about large file upload issues in MacBooks which wont happen in windows.

How to have my dial up connection added to the network utility program?

how to have my dial up connection added to the network utility program for monitoring? though i am connected by dial-up, the connection is not monitored by the utility program. the drop down box there does not show the modem at all. ?

Huh? I don't understand what you are asking. I just pulled up the network utility and I don't see what kind of connection monitoring it does for any kind of connection? What kind of information are you looking to obtain? What problem are you interested in solving by having your question answered?

Unable to check for available downloads. the network connection was lost

in my downloads window in iTunes it shows i have "28 iTunes downloads available". when i try to download them, i get the error "Unable to check for available downloads. the network connection was lost."
my connection is fine though, as i can individually download purchases by clicking on the cloud icon.

I followed the advice on Holgr's link, i used screen flow to capture the error message, and then made the video available to apple support. My issue was immediately escalated, and my account started working again shortly after.
I received no additional messages from tech support, i had no idea the problem was resolved until i tried it again.

Using Network Utility

I need to find out the "DNS settings" for a website/blog. What's the best way? Network Utility? Which aspect...
Thanks in advance.
Here is the questions I was asked:
It was suggested that I point our website domain name to our blog so that when people who are used to visiting the web site type in that address, the blog will come up instead. In order to do that, I need the DNS setting for our blog. It's usually a string of numbers like:
362.214.785.898

Lookup in Network Utility can get an IP address ("string of numbers") from a DNS name, for example, doing a lookup on "ford.com" gives a response of :-
Lookup has started…
; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> ford.com +multiline +nocomments +nocmd +noquestion +nostats +search
;; global options: +cmd
ford.com. 900 IN A 136.1.240.248
so the IP address of ford.com is 136.1.240.248
Having said that, I'm wondering why you need your web sites IP address.
Do you host your own web site? Or directly control it's content?
You can make a web page automatically redirect the visitor to another site (google "html redirect"), which may be easier than updating DNS.
