"not connected via PPPoE"? why, it was fine before!
Got up this moning and couldn't connect to the net.
My airport icon showed a scrolling message "cannot connect over PPPoE". Last night everything was fine, I think I even left everything connected over night.
I've been in touch with my ISP but they say the problem isn't with them. After much messing around, I've lost my old network name, a new one has been created, the icon shows good reception, the scrolling message has disappeared and I appear to be connected but...when I go to Internet Connect it gives me the message of "not connected"
Ironically, I'm currently connected to the Net via someone else in the building - their Newtprk shows up and works on my mac, but mine doesn't!
What's my next step?
The first step is usually to pull the Airport Express and modem from power, waiting a few minutes, then plugging the modem back into power, waiting a minute, then plugging the Airport Express back into power.
If the Airport Admin Utility tells you the firmware version on your Airport Express is 6.2, I also suggest you install the more stable version 6.1.1 from:

My audio aggregate device is not stable in Mountain Lion - it was fine before I upgraded from Snow Leopard. Every time I reboot the audio aggregate device (MOTU TRAVELER, MOTU PRE8 1, MOTU PRE8) has to be reconfigured so that it is available within Logic Pro.
Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.) -
Error message "not connected via PPPoE" when trying to connect using airport wireless
I cannot connect to my wireless internet connection using my ibook laptop. Using airport, I keep getting the message "host cannot find the PPPoE" or something like that. Any ideas how to fix this?
Hi, Bob. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which exact iBook model is it? ("iBook" covers a lot of different Mac models, each with different capabilities.)
You can choose from this list:

Which version of the operating system is it running now?
What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?) -
Safari 5.0.6 upgrade not working well....was fine before upgrade...
hello.
Safari doesn't run well since the upgrade to 5.0.6.
It's really noticeable on youtube videos, which used to play fine.
Now, any and all videos on that site hang really badly......almost to the point of freezing the entire safari app.
There are other issues too, but this is the most noticeable.
I've read that 5.0.6 is compatible with leopard 10.5.8.
I'm still on a power pc G5 quad. Plenty of ram. Does this make a difference?
Do i need to downgrade safari? Everything else is fine except for safari 5.0.6.
thank you!
alexi guess the kinks are being worked out.

My Apple desktop computer, 2.4 GHz Intel duo core, OS 10.6.8, stopped recognizing the WD My Book connected via firewire. It works fine with the USB port so it's not the drive. Help please?
It can be the bridge. It could need firmware update. or the FW ports may be an issue. LaCie seemed to invent the phrase/tip 'resetting firewire ports' due to the issues with their drive cases.
You can try an SMC Reset.
So far I have avoided name-brand and tend to see them mentioned. Often with a new OS (though you are on 10.6.8, but when 10.6 came out there was a common complaint and thread of users: FW or USB worked but not the other interface). -
Imac 27" Intel Core7 CPU 16 Gig RAM. Screen goes black and will not respond except with a push of power button. Second monitor connected via displayport continues to display fine. Apply Store did full hardware diagnostic and all is fine. Did clean wipe from Mavrick back to Mountain Lion but problem remains. Apple Store can do no more.
I did some more digging, it appears to be a backlight problem only. I can see the screen very dimly if I use a bright flashlight in a very dark room. It also seems to run ok if the brightness is turned down a LOT.
So I'm thinking this is a LED driver board issue or the display itself. I'll open it up and check the connection between the two and see if I can get any more clues. At least I can use it somewhat now by dimming the display significantly... -
Time Capsule cannot connect via PPPoe when MacBook Pro can.
I used to connect to the internet using my TC as a router, connecting via PPPoE using a DSL modem.
While my ISP had a problem with their network, the TC stop connecting to the PPPoE host and the amber light kept blinking. Because this was taking too long, I decided to investigate this issue.
I tried connecting my laptop directly to the modem, the restored my original configuration.
My MacBook Pro connected via ethernet to the DSL modem, is able to connect to the internet using a PPPoE connection. When I try the same via the TC, it just doesn't connect!
What should I do to troubleshoot this?
Is it possible that it is related to my ISP? Even though the laptop manages to connect via PPPoE.
Even the DSL modem when switched to router functionality is able to connect via PPPoE.
Only the TC seems to fail. What could be the problem?
(I have ruled out incorrect passwords and faulty wiring...)There is some extra info I need.
What modem.. make and model..?? What kind of broadband?
How is the Buffalo setup? Is it router or bridged and if router is it using pppoe?
There is nothing wrong with keeping the buffalo .. it is a very reasonable router.. and just use the TC in bridge plugged into it..
I have to confess I really dislike the airport utility v6 in Mountain Lion.. it is a kiddie toy version of the real v5 utility. Half your problems relate to the near to useless nature of the utility.
Can you install 5.6 and then we can get somewhere.
Here is howto..
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool. -

HT1338 hp 100 office jet printer will not connect via bluetooth to my mac pro running os 10.9
I once was able to connect via blue tooth to my HP mobile office jet printer with my Mac pro. but ever since i have upgraded to OS 10.9 it will not pair with my laptop. I have gone too the HP site and downloaded the current drivers for this printer as well as check apple updates. it still will not connect via bluetooth
System Preferences>Fax & Scan. Delete the printers and re-add them back in.

My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?
I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work). "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon. -
10.10 is installed. Now when plugging the download cable in from my wife Canon T3i camera to my wifes 15 inch Apple laptop it says not compatible with the software. Worked fine before the 10.10 upgrade. However I CAN download my pictures from my Canon 6D camera to MY 15 inch Apple laptop.....
I have a DSC-T1 Sony camera. I also have a Panasonic video camera with a built in digital camera. I just took some shots with the Panasonic. Plugged it in, and it worked perfectly. iphoto opened and did what it was supposed to do. I then tried the Sony and nothing happened again. Maybe this is a problem with the mac not recognizing certain cameras...?????

cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth
That is because they do not generally pair. What is it that you are trying to do by connecting them via Bluetooth? If you are referring to AirDrop or continuity, then all you need to do is have Bluetooth turned on, they do not pair.

iphone 6 automatically turn on even not connect to charger, why would this happen and how to solve it?
I'm not an apple expert or anything, but after hearing this from a coworker (and doing a quick google search) many of the generic chargers do not work in the 5s (especially after the most recent update.) I'm thinking this may be the problem in your case...the charger is not working so the phone just needs a good charge from either an apple certified charger or a generic that will actually work with the phone. I've read some people are able to pull the cable out, turn it around and then plug it back in facing the opposite direction to get it to work. Many have reported, however, that even when this remedies the cable issue, its still won't charge the phone while it is completely dead (which is likely the case since it won't power on at all.) So if you haven't fixed your problem by now, go buy a new charger and see what happens. You might be able to go into and apple store and borrow a charger there for a few minutes to see if this actually IS the problem. That way you don't waste your money before buying.

Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight (cd's / recording etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off" - Help !!!
Good advice from Linc Davis that should sort out your query i think...
However you dont want to set your MBP to never go to sleep...
Adjust reasonable sleep settings...
And the download an APP called caffiene...
When you click it you can have your MBP never go to sleep with a single click of your menu bar... and with another click it can go to sleep normally to maintain the laptop...
Simply click the cup... To toggle never sleep/sleep -
On a certain website, it says to click here to download plugin Java Runtime Environment. I receive the message installer cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection settings. It was fine before the upgrade to 4.01. I have another PC that has IE on it and it works fine and again it worked fine until the upgrade to 4.01. I've done the off-line download but in Firefox it still says I need the plugin and still results in the installer cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection settings.
You can install Java from here: http://www.java.com/en/<br><br>
You also need to update your Flash installation since the one you have at the moment exposes your system to attack. It's a similar story for Adobe Reader.
