Old Mac OS 8.5 configuring to use cable as internet connection

I gave my sister a old imac OS 8.5 and she is on Road Runner Cable we tried to hook it up to her internet connection and it siad she needed a 8.6. What do we do now? MAke it simple cause we are not computor smart. I installed extra memory on the imac and does that mean I can install Juager or Panther now?

You can update from Mac OS 8.5 to 8.6 for free; the word 'update' links you to the update page. Instructions for installing the update are provided.
Your computer must have at least 256MB of RAM to use Mac OS X effectively, as well as at least 4GB of space on the hard disk. Additionally, installing this firmware updater may be required.

I just got a Mac and I use the same internet connection as my mom and my brother, who has an iPad. He can click on something that has my name and then Macbook Air, and is able to see everything on my computer screen. How do I fix this?

No, I made sure nothing was checked for that section when i found out he could see my screen. At the top it says "computers on your local network can access your computer at: blah blah". I think thats how hes doing it but i dont know how to fix it.

I want to use Airport Express in my hotel room using the wired internet connection, but I don't carry a computer, just my iPad. Is that possible?

I want to use AirPort Express when I am traveling. I would like to use a wired internet connection in a hotel room to create a wireless connection. However, I do not normally carry my laptop, just my iPad. Is it possible to do this?

You will have to pre-configure the Express using AirPort Utility on your computer before you leave on the trip. The Express will store and remember the settings.
You might want to check with the hotel in advance to make sure that they have Ethernet ports available. Most hotels have switched to wireless and the others are not far behind.

Hi. I have temporarily moved away from home. I am using a different internet connection, and I have lost my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

Hi. I have temporarily moved away from home. I am using a different internet connection, and I have lost my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

Generally speaking, your bookmarks are private to your computer, and if you set up multiple Firefox profiles on your computer, to the one profile.
Your bookmarks might be available to you at another location if you used the Sync service. In order to connect a new computer to the Sync service when you aren't near your old computer, you need a recovery key. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/share-bookmarks-tabs-and-more-your-other-computers#w_what-if-im-not-near-my-first-computer
If you didn't use Sync or can't access your account, someone with access to your old computer could email you your bookmarks. Since there is a range of different ways to do that and the best choice might depend on what you can expect the person you ask to be able to do... could they start up Firefox in your profile and follow menu steps to export a file? Could they drill down into a hidden folder on the system, zip a file, and mail that to you? Etc.

When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?

Hi Brian,
Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
Thanks for your help though!

Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection?

I am using an ipad mini 2, second generation. I plugged it in to itunes and there was an update avaible for ios 8. Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection? Thank you

iTunes needs an internet connection to download the update if it has not already. Then it needs to verify the update with Apple servers prior to installation.
So in short, no, you do need at least some form of internet access to update.

Can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and Airport express for printer

How / can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and use an airport express to set up wifi for printer and Apple TV?
Macbook Pro. OS X 10.9.4

I've never tried it, so I don't know what the results will be.
However, you can move Ethernet to the top of the Services list in Network System Prefs which will cause it to be the Internet source. There is a command in the gear menu to set the Service order. However, after thinking about it, if there isn't an internet connection via Wi-Fi, it might automatically drop down to the Ethernet connection.
Then, you can set up your Wi-Fi so that it doesn't connect to the Internet, as Linc stated. How to do that would be dependent on the Router.

Can creative cloud be used with intermittent internet connections?

Hi,
I have a number of clients that like to "work on the ice" if you know what I mean. They ar eall ice fishermen or work in that industry. Can CC be used with intermittent internet connections?
Thanks,

Hi Van,
I copied this from the Creative Cloud FAQ:
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Adobe® Creative Cloud™ desktop applications?
No. Your Creative Cloud desktop applications (such as Adobe® Photoshop® and Illustrator®) are installed directly on your computer, so you won't need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis.
An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your desktop apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
For annual members, you can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode.
Hope that helps,
-Dave

I have an old MAC running OS X 10.2.8 and lost internet capabilities, how do I update and get the internet back?

Was it connected to the internet before, and if so how?

Using a shared internet connection?

my workplace doesn't have a wireless network, but i can plug in my macbook and was hoping to use it as a wireless network for my ipod touch. i enabled a shared ethernet connection via the airport on my mac, but my ipod touch doesn't find it as a wireless network.
am i doing something wrong?

Airplay from what? iTunes or iPad?
I assume iPad - in this setup the iPad and AppleTv will be unlikely to be able to see each other on the hotel network even if both are connected wirelessly. If they can and you don't have a user/room specific login I'd be concerned about other users seeing my devices too. These things are generally designed for single user access not to create your own local network. I suspect in the T&Cs for the wi-fi service it may preclude sharing the internet connection with another device, but if it works....

Will an iPhone use my laptops internet connection?

To Whom It May Concern,

Possibly but as I said I'm not up to speed with Windows so I don't know how to get the networking options into the necessary state to accomplish what you need.
What if i hack the phone, can i find a third party app that will allow me to use my laptops Ethernet internet connection?
I have no idea. I suspect also that anything that involves hacking the phone would be removed from this Apple forum pretty sharpish.

How can i use Siri without Internet connectivity?

Siri doesn't work without Internet.
I was in a situation yesterday, when i was driving and have to call my Dad.
Due to the bad weather, data services were down and when i used Siri to call my Dad's number, its just said "Siri not available, please connect to Internet"
I can understand, that for Weather details, Web search etc, Internet is required, but at least Siri should handle in-phone features like "calling, Texting etc", without Internet connectivity.

Even though it seems like Siri should be able to handle things such as dialing a number or dictating a text, an internet connection is required for Siri to function. There is currently not a way to get Siri to do otherwise.

Optimal use of multiple internet connections

G'day,
lets say that you can access the internet via multiple means lets say over ethernet and airport. Perhaps you want OSX to prefer one over the other when one is faster than the other, or just to share internet usage over the two resources.
Is there a way of doing this using OSX, or is the a 3rd party app to achieve this?

You can aggregate two links of the same type (e.g. two (or more) gigabit ethernet ports) but you cannot do it with different interface types (e.g. one wired ethernet port and one wireless).
That's because of the way that link aggregation works - the host system and the switch it's connected to have to agree on how the packets are split between the multiple links. This cannot be done if links don't all go to the same place - e.g. one link to a switch and one link to a base station.
With a wired and a wireless port, the best you can do is active/standby.
Of course, this discussion is only relevant if your internet connection is greater than the speed of one of your links - in this case 54mbps - otherwise all you're doing is talking to your router faster, which is going to throttle the traffic down to your WAN link speed.

Mac Mini i7 After Yosemite update, sleep mode affecting internet connection

Hi,
I got a Mac Mini i7 for July 2014 everything was awesome. On Monday, October 27th 2014, I notice the port where my Mac Mini is connected, the light is amber colour. When this happens there's no internet connection for the Mac Mini and affects the router has it slows the connection. After doing the following:
1. Turn off Modem for 20mins (hard reset)
2. Turn off Router for 20mins (hard reset)-Router Netgear WNDR4000
3. Set Service Order
4. Change Ethernet Cable
5. Renew the DHCP
I found out the when the Mac Mini goes to sleep mode thats when connections drops. I test where i set it to 1min and voila the port is now amber colour.
I don't want to keep the Mac Mini i7 in "never" status has it decrease life.
Put hard disk to sleep when possible and Wake for network access are checked.
Of course before the update, everything was working fine. Any ideas is appreciated.
Thanks,
Retsel Adrec

Re-installing Yosemite fixed this problem.
Thanks.
