Networking Gone Haywire
Had my G4 (OSX 10.4.8) humming along nicely in a network via router to my old PowerMac 9600 (Classic 9.1), iMac G3 (Class 9.2) and Wallstreet laptop (Classic 9.2). Then one day - seemingly out of the blue - I was no longer able to connect with the iMac G3 nor the laptop. None of the usual AFP networking solutions helped. All along, I was able to connect to the PowerMac 9600 from the G4. So, as a workaround, I have to copy files from the G3 to the PowerMac and then transfer them over to the G4. Pain in the neck.
Then, I began to have internet connection problems on the G4 - I'd be online and all of a sudden, I wouldn't be online. No internet connectivity issues for other computers on the network - just the G4. Rebooting the G4 solved the problem but only temporarily - like for 10 minutes. Then - boom - no more internet connection.
I read somewhere in this forum that disabling AppleTalk would help so I did that and - voila! No more internet connectivity issues.
HOWEVER - now I can't print from the G4 to the Brother laser printer that's hooked up to my network. Again, no problems with any of the other computers - just the G4. So I upgraded the firmware and printer driver and tried to connect via an IP adress with no luck. As a last resort, I turned Appletalk back on in the G4 preferences. STILL not able to print to the laser printer - even though I can ping it with no problem.
I'm at wits end with all this network stuff. I'm definitely NOT a technical person and if it wasn't so disruptive to my workflow, I'd just try to ignore it all but I MUST be able to print from the G4 to the laser printer!!
NOW what do I try? Should I go back to a lower version of Tiger and hope that solves my issues?

What kind of router are you using, I forgot if you
mentioned that.(?)
Linksys Etherfast DSL/Cable Router
Did any of your computers or router have an update
recently?
I've updated all firmware and software that I can find.
I have an iMac and router, both got update recently
and now can't connect to the router, great hu!
Have you tried to call Apple support?
No. I'm not under warranty.

AEBS system gone haywire -HELP!
I’m having some problems with my AEBS network. My server is no longer accessible via VPN.
I have a Comcast cable modem, that goes into an AEBS, that goes on to a switch. I updates the AEBS with the latest Apple software/firmware update sand the system has gone haywire. I would appreciate any help in the resolution.
The Comcast cable modem has a gateway address of 10.1.10.1, the router address is 10.1.10.1
The AEBS used to have an IP address of 10.1.10.162, but after upgrading it with the Apple software/firmware5.7 update, when I go to Airport Admin Utility, the AEBS shows an IP address of 254.128.0.0. And I can’t log into it, If I select OTHER, then a drop down window with IP address 10.0.1.1 shows up. If I enter my AEBS password it opens. In the summary screen it shows the AEBS IP address as 10.1.10.46 with a router address of 10.1.10.1. The AEBS is set to “Share a single IP address using 10.0.1.1 addressing”.
Now for the server. The server shows an IP address of 10.0.1.7. The server had been set to have a manual address of 10.1.10.99. The Comcast cable modem has port forwarding set so VPN access is forwarded to IP address 10.1.10.99 , the server. Of course it does not work now because of the server address of 10.0.1.7. if I set the server manually to 10.1.10.99, it does not have internet access.
HELP! What the heck happened to my AEBS and how do I fix this, so we can have VPN access to the server (OSX 10.3.9)?
I run the Ethernet cable thru the AEBS to the switch so that the both the Comcast firewall and the AEBS firewall protect the server. Am I being overly cautious? I could connect the server direct to the Comcast modem but then it would be on the other side of the AEBS and I think the office computers that attach to the network thru the AEBS would not be able to see it and be cut off from their files.I'm running out the door, so don't have time for a detailed response.... Just this:
You should run NAT only in one box (the ISP's router or the AEBS).
Your network should be reconfigured so that either the ISPs router/modem does your NAT or the AEBS (with a pblic IP on the AEBS WAN port)
In doing this, if you change the IP of your server, be sure to use the changeip script (man changeip).
Post questions if you have any.
I can expand upon this later.

I'm in a terrible bind. I'm 7000 miles away from my home in California (in Cyprus where there's no official Apple support), I have a document and photographs to deliver to my newspaper tomorrow (I'm a writer/photographer) and my PB LCD has gone haywire.
I left it to print, came back and the screen was covered in gray lines. Nothing could be seen in the background.
Rebooted, ie via power switch. No improvement. I don't get the start up tone but I can hear the disk churning. I get the screen full of a repetitive pattern which then becomes a blue screen with only a square inch "rainbow" which I can move with the mouse - I guess that's the cursor. If I leave the PB on, the screen eventually gets one of these funny patterns, typically slightly diagonal lines with the repetitive patterns and the funny cursor disappears.
Hearing the disk underneath all this while starting up, I tried to bring it up in single-user mode (Command-S while starting). I still got the funny screen but after allowing enough time for the start up procedure, I blindly I typed "fsck -f" to check the disk and I could hear the disk churning away for roughly the length of period it typically runs (I'll occasionally fsck the disk manually). I then typed "reboot" and sure enough it rebooted but the results where the same: patterns or the blue screen with the funny cursor and nothing else.
As a result I'd like to believe (hope?) that the disk is ok, it's just my screen that's kaput. I have no VGA port at the back, only the one to which you attach Apple's own displays and the little adapter that I could use to hook up a VGA monitor is back home in Calif.
I suspect I'm dead in the water. If by chance anyone can offer any help, I'll be eternally grateful!
Thanks
MIt is more likely that the video circuitry on your PowerBook logic board is bad, and that your display is fine. That's not necessarily great news.
However, if your logic board is not set to a state in which it does not operate at all, you can place your PowerBook in FireWire target disk mode, and - using another Macintosh of some sort - remotely mount your PowerBook's hard disk, giving you access to all of your data.
Here are target disk mode instructions and some background instructions:

If you can mount your PowerBook, you will be able to salvage the files, meet your deadline, and relax on a Mediterranean beach before slogging back to the US and enlisting the help of an Authorized Apple Service Provider. -

ITunes Gone Haywire: Playlists, Folders, Settings and more
Hello all. Man...I really need some sage advice in a bad way. I've been trying my best to conquer this major iTunes problem of mine, but ultimately, I have just not been able to find a working solution to fix it. Even my efforts at pinpointing the source of my troubles have been in vain. I've finally become exasperated enough that I decided I be better off trying my luck here. Any help would be very much appreciated.
THE PROBLEM(S): A couple months ago I was working on some music projects within iTunes, when something seemed to go awry, because it promptly started acting strangely, not like it normally did, and that's when I began to experience the problems. It had always run smoothly for me up until then, but it's been giving me major trouble ever since. Here's some of what's been going on:
Playlists gone haywire: My entire stable of folders and playlists has seemingly gone mad, doing all sorts of unfortunate and crazy things. I routinely get new waves of unwanted playlists and folders appearing in my library--some are exact duplicates of playlists and folders that already existed in my library, while others bear the same or similar titles, but are deformed in one way or another. Moreover, I'll often get a bunch of very old playlists reappear--ones that I had long since deleted from my library. Other times I will find that a whole bunch of the lists and folders have suddenly disappeared again, or sometimes their location will change. The worst of all is when, as happened a few times, I just completed a bunch of changes and modifications to the library's folders and playlists, or I was working on a music project in some lists, and then suddenly it all disappears into thin air a short time later (after a reboot of iTunes, for instance).
B) iTunes Library Files (itl, xml, genius, extras, and sentry): They refuse to nest in the main iTunes folder location they are supposed to reside in. Instead they insist on taking up residence in my Previous iTunes Libraries folder. I tried a few strategies I had come across here in the pages of the community, but none has worked to date.
C) Unstable Preference Settings: At least a few times I've logged on to iTunes to find that my usual settings and preferences have completely changed, causing problems. Sometimes it will change my iTunes Media folder location in Edit>Preferences>Advanced to another location (like to my Previous iTunes Libraries folder location), thus creating a new hierarchy of media folders therein. Also, my settings in View keep changing back and forth, my sources in Edit>Preferences>General had changed on me one time, and more.
MY CURRENT SETUP
-My PC: Dell Inc. Inspiron 580, Microsoft Windows 7 x64 Home Premium Edition, Service Pack 1 (Build 7601)
-iTunes 11.1.3.8
Library Size: 335 GB, 24,734 files, 13,056 folders
I'm an iTunes Match subscriber.
Current iTunes Media folder location via Edit>Preferences>Advanced tab: C:/Users/Dowgiert/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media. Both "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" are currently checked.
Current folder path
Titles iTunes has chosen for my library files it uses: iTunes Library 2013-10-25 Extras, iTunes Library 2013-10-25 Genius, iTunes Library 2013-10-25 (.itl), iTunes Library 2013-10-25 (.xml), sentinel *See screen shot below.
Current location that iTunes uses for my library files (database .itl file, genius file, etc.) is: C:/Users/Dowgiert/Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries. The folder paths for these same files are: C:/Users/Dowgiert/My Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries.
-I also have an iPad 2, and a couple other iPods (classic and Nano). None of these currently has the iTunes library in the desired state (thus ruling out importing from them).
WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR
-Backed up my library with SyncToy 2.1 (x64)
-I downloaded iTunes Folder Watch, however it doesn't seem to work until I fix the location of my .xml file.
-I've tried countless other fixes, changes to my software and PC, etc., but I won't list them all here now. Feel free to ask me more.
WHAT I'VE NOTICED
-It seems like these unpleasant library changes are often more likely (but not always) to coincide with one of the following: an iTunes update; an iTunes Match update; a Genius update; an iTunes shutdown, followed by a later restart of the program.
Again, thank you so much for any help. I'm really stuck. I have all sorts of other information at the ready, so feel free to ask if you have questions.
ForestHello again Mr. TuringTest2! Continued thanks for your help sir! I've long suspected that iTunes Match was partly responsible for my troubles, by the way. Let me update you on what's going on.
New Steps I've Taken:
-After your last response, I did the readings (thanks!), and then began by turning off my iTunes Match. From reading the post you provided on resetting iTunes Match, I got the impression that my order of operations should go as follows (please correct me if I'm wrong):
1st) Disable iTunes Match. [Completed]
2nd) Clean up my library [Started, but not completed*]
3rd) Try the Shift+ start iTunes Match technique to try and successfully clear away any harmful entries that might be saved in my Apple iCloud/iMatch database. [Incomplete]
4th) Restart iTunes and turn iTunes Match back on. Determine if the problems continue. [Incomplete]
*UPDATE: STEP 2 INTERRUPTED
I began clearing, moving, and modifying the playlists and folders that were the unwanted end-products of my recent troubles. I was making good progress cleaning up: Went from 258 playlists (regular) down to 200, and from 67 folders and subfolders down to 27. I hadn't yet deleted any of my 56 smart playlists, but did place them all into one folder (to organize them for later cutting).
Then came the hiccup. I didn't know clicking the button seen below on my account page would automatically turn iTunes Match back on, but it did:
Match ran it's usual 3-step process, and in just a few moments, undid the almost all of the aforementioned progress I had made. Of course, as it seems want to do, it added back a whole bunch of trash playlists and folders.
I ran a couple of your scripts to assess the damage. They showed that just by this accidental restart of iTunes Match alone, my library ballooned from 200 reg playlists/56 smart lists/27 folders, all the way up to new totals of 264/64/47!
When I returned to the problem today, first thing I did was turn iTunes Match off again. This resulted in dropping the totals to 235/63/47. I found that odd, so I did some more testing--turning Match on and off, each time recording the results. Here's all the recorded results in total numbers of regular playlists, smart playlists, and folder counts after each change:
Off: 200/56/27
On: 264/64/47
Off: 235/63/47
On: 285/64/48
Off: 256/63/48
On: 306/64/49
Off: 277/63/49
I ran your PlaylistToFile script each time after I turned iTunes Match off (it wouldn't run when I had Match on for some reason) and made copies of the results. I wanted to be able to see the specific changes being made each time, and to try and determine which specific playlists and folders were acting up. I you think taking a look at these results would be useful, I've copied them into a shared google document you can access at the following link:
-https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ESzfCpcO14krXp5sTQdMke0CpFDF--gbwVxrGaNmbgw/ edit?usp=sharing
I also noticed that iTunes started creating more backups of my library's database files within the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. Here's an image of the new ones:
Also, it appears iTunes created new .itl and .xml files in my main iTunes folder (see below). Or at least that's what the "Date Created" info column says. What up with that? Also, I still have the Trash folder here that you told me to set up, and a couple new .tmp files have appeared. Here's how it looks:
What do you think I should do tt2? If I had completed the four steps (outlined at top) without accidentally turning on Match before I all four were completed, would that have fixed the problem? Should I do something different, or in a different order? I'm all ears. Thank you so much for all your help!
Eternally grateful,

TS3048 My wireless apple keyboard for my Imac has gone haywire.
The wireless keyboard for my iMac has gone haywire. The signal to the computer appears to be corrupted. When I turn it on it automatically fills in all the spaces in the box where I am supposed to type in my password at startup in order to complete booting up. It will not allow me to erase any of the letters to properly type in the password, but repaetedly fills in the spaces to capacity. It will also affect & turn on the audio volume & just goes mad until I turn it off when the computer returns to normal - although of course this means that I am unable to log in to access anything. Tried changing the keyboard batteries but no different. Any thoughts please??

I'm Having a problem moving articles around. I'll move an articles positions and it will scramble all of them. It does it in Indesign, and Dashboard (list and Article views). Please advise.
We are having the same problem. We have numbered each folder as we created content so that we could reorder folios easily. But since we passed 99 articles/folios, as the OP says it has gone HAYWIRE. When we import a new folio it appears at the bottom of the sequence but when we drag it to the correct position it (often) throws everything out of sequence. It makes no difference if the ordering is done in Folio Builder or the Dashboard.
This is becoming a huge problem, we are now up to 127 articles/folios. IS THIS A BUG? -

5.1 Preferences/Cookies and Private Browsing gone haywire - BACKWARDS
There is something gone wrong, all haywire with the new version of Safari at 5.1. The Cookies settings in the Prefs has "Block" settings, and I have it set at "ALWAYS" and yet it allows for me to sign in to any webpage with my name and password, whereas before I couldn't. At the same time, if I use "Private Browsing" and set that, it actually blocks my Cookies!!!! whereas before all it did was not remember History. Somebody messed up the programming and got this one completely backwards, this should be the other way around.
Cookies set to ALWAYS should block all cookies and Private Browsing should not block cookies just not remember history.
This is a major blunder. Needs immediate update fix, please.1. There are other threads on this issue
2. At least for me, the forums are not letting me 'reply' to posts, I am getting past this by going to 'advanced' and posting from there. -
Password to Wireless network gone !
I lost the password to my wireless network ! My laptop got repaired but due to a faulty OS they changed my OS and now all my settings are gone, so also the password to my wireless network ! How can i retrieve the password from my wireless network ?????
The password is located in the router. Simply connect via wired computer to 192.168.1.1 username blank password admin (or whatever you made it). Select the wireless security tab and check for your password.

Connection to Airport has gone haywire since upgrade to 10.6.7
I've been searching the web for five days not to come to solution with my problem. Many users reports the same problem and so far i haven't seen anybody come up with something that works to fix this.
Since i upgraded to 10.6.7 my WIFI hasen't work at all or just for a few minutes. Afters suggestions from another user i downgraded the firmware on my Airport to 7.4.2 and the WIFI was working a little bit better for a moment, but then back to normal. I've trashed preference files and zapped PRAM. Still no luck.
We have 2 MBP and both stopped working over WIFI the moment we upgraded them. All other devices work fine over WIFI, like the iPhones, PS3, Wii etc.
Here's a short clip the log from the Airport Utility and the WIFI connection:

Under 'TCP/IP' I turned off 'configure IPv6'
Under "Proxies" I deleted everything in the box that says 'Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts and Domains'.
I hit OK or Apply, and all of a sudden everything worked again. I don't know why I did half of what I did, but something worked. -
An update to my Touch went haywire and I lost my music and apps but luckily I had subscribed to i Cloud and they were reinstated but my music contents page - "artists", "songs" etc. no longer has any colour and the shuffle will not work. Help please?
Yes, the color has been deleted iOS 6.
You have tried turingin on shuffle, right?
