PC & MAC's on a network, disconnect issues, AT WITS END, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

HI everyone...
This problem has me broken and utterly confused. I'm somewhat of a newbie to MAC, so I still have a PC my girlfriend uses that is wired to the router. She also has a gateway laptop w/ wireless card. I've seen the promised land and am the proud owner of a MacBook. The router is a Linksys WRTG54GS router, if that would help. The reason I bought the router is that it is noted as "very good."
I'm under suspician that it may have to do w/ Mac system updates...any ideas????
The only problem is when, the home network (with security or without) has the MAC on the network, the network breaks down after around 15-20 minutes. It works fine for that period of time, then in the wireless indicator on top, it always goes down to 4 bars, but the network is not accessible at all.
When it is only PC on the network, it stays up without any issues. I WANT TO USE MY MAC WITHOUT RESETTING MY ROUTER EVERY 20 MINUTES....PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ps- I've updated the firmware and everything, to no avail, it doesn't work.

I had a similarly frustrating experience when setting up my Linksys WRT54GS wireless router. My new MacBook Pro would not connect to the Internet as it would not take an ip address from DHCP on the Linksys router.
The problem was that the latest firmware from Linksys for this router (1.50.9) is at fault. It is not compatible with Mac OS 10.4.8. In order to get things to work normally I had to downgrade the firmware of the router to version 1.50.8
You may have to hunt around the various Linksys forums sites to find version 1.50.8 as Linksys Canada would not provide it to me. I was told to use manually set ip addresses until a new firmware version was released. However, version 1.50.8 seems to be stable and working well for me.
There are similar problems with the compatibility of the firmware on the WRT54G Linksys router with OS 10.4.8 too, which also requires downgrading the firmware. Check the Linksys forums for more details as the firmware versions are different for this router.
Good luck!

Hi,
What version of the OS did you upgrade from ?
Anything before OS X 10.8.2 may have an issue if the Logic/Mother board has been replaced and the Serial Number not "flashed" back to it.
In the Apple Icon menu use the About this Mac item.
In the new panel click twice on the line that tells you the current OS level
It will change to the Build number (and alternative count to the OS versions) and then the Serial Number.
If it is missing you need to get it replaced.
(It is supposed to be done on Repair or Refurbishment).
An Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider as the best choices.
There are apps you can download (They are Mac Model specific) but needs careful typing as it is a once only trip.

I cant update my macbook pro to mac os x 10.9.2 what do i do please help me guys..

i cant update my macbook pro to mac os x 10.9.2 what do i do please help me guys.......

First off, you need to post in the correct forum. 10.9.2 is not the same as Mac OS 9.2. (12 years separate those two).
I'll ask this thread be moved.
Secondly, look at your Apple menu -> About This Mac and tell us what you have now.
If it is some version of 10.8, you can upgrade to 10.9, and then 10.9.2 free:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6131
If it is some version of 10.7, check the system requirements for 10.8 first, to determine if you can go straight to 10.9, then 10.9.2:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3761
If it is some version of 10.6 or lower, read this tip:

Bought lots of music last night. Tried to sync my 5th generation nano.It's been saying something like, "step two, attempting to sync a***'s ipod for about 8 hours. It won't let me stop it. I can't disconnect at this time. Please help.I thought about using control. alt delete and stopping it. It says I will lose any unsaved data. The music appears to be in my library, so I should be safe, right? However even if that works and I can disconnect my ipod, why isn't it syncing? I have a 2nd one to sync as well. I am frustrated. Thank you!

Thanks you for replying planb77! My husband got home and told me to just disconnect the ipod. It had been at least 12 hours by then, The music was in my library but not on my ipod, He had me shut down, unplug my computer, take a rest from it and restart. I reset my ipod following instructions on the itunes site. I tried syncing again and was successful syncing both ipods. I really think it was great of you to take the time to help someone else.

Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
It says ;
Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
Continuing...
And stops ...
Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

Network Disconnecting issue with Windows 8

We are getting RTO to gateway at regular interval on windows 8 laptop.at same time we are able to ping system from same subnet.
we have installed windows 8 in different make and model of laptop also Ethernet driver is updated with latest version, Windows firewall n defender is not enable no third party firewall or antivirus is installed in laptop.
if we installed windows 7 in same laptop with latest Ethernet driver network is working fine.

can you please launch the following command :
to reset the TCP/IPv4 config
=> netsh interface ipv4 reset all
to configure your NIC:
=> netsh int ipv4 set add name="Name_Of_Your_NIC" source=static address=IP_Address mask=Subnet_Mask Gateway=IP_Of_the_Gateway
where Name_of_your_NIC is the name of your NIC adapter (e.i Local Area Connection)
IP_Address is the ip address you want to specify on the machine
Subnet_Mask is 255.255.0.0 or 255.255.255.0, depending on the IP address's class
IP_Of_The_Gateywa is the IP address of the router
Let me know is the problem is resolved after applying this procedure.

Mac 10.6.8's video calls not working! Please help!

Reposting the text below because there was no reply to the last message. Ack! Please help. Skype, is there a solution yet? Or even just an explanation and a time frame so we know when we can expect video calls to work again? Thanks! ---------------I have a Mac laptop, version 10.6.8. I have the most updated version of Skype available for my computer, Skype version 6.15. For the past few months, I've been unable to use video chat or file sharing. I can receive some files, but cannot send files. Other people can video chat with me and I can see them, but they can't see me. My built-in camera works just fine for other purposes, so I know it's not an issue with my camera. I've also noticed that a lot of Mac users seem to be having trouble with Skype lately. I've checked my audio/video preferences for Skype and my computer's camera preferences, and everything is as it should be. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance for any help!

See: How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X
In addition to these steps, I recommend, BEFORE emptying the trash:
Go to: [User]/Library/Preferences (hold the "Option" key when clicking "Go" from the Finder menu to reveal the hidden Library folder)
Trash the ENTIRE Macromedia folder from there
Aside from that additional step, follow the rest of the instructions to the letter and you should be back up and running.

Having many issues... Please help!

Issue number one. I was recently surfing the web, trying to find an off shore escrow company. When I clicked on a link and my computer started downloading "something". I immediately tried to stop the download, but now I'm getting spammed with a banner across the top of my Safari windows. It doesn't matter what site I go to, I keep getting the banner that states, "congratulations you've won, blah..." with audio! So annoying, because the computer voice keeps repeating it. "congratulations, congratulations". You get the idea.
Issue number two. Whenever I try to get into my system preferences, my pin wheel spins forever! As well as, when I'm using Safari. My computer entirely has been sluggish lately.
Issue number three. After the crazy download, I tried repairing my disk, but I keep getting this error. Now I know, there's been other threads on this issue, but I don't understand "their computer language". Here's the message I keep getting:
Error: The underlying task reported failure on ext
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
Now I have the two disks that came with my computer, but I don't understand what I'm suppose to do with them? Other threads tell me to reboot using the start up disk. What does that mean, exactly? Please explain, step by step what I'm suppose to do.
I'd also like to scan my entire computer (due to the mysterious download) for virus', etc. However, the apple threads only talk about virus via email, which doesn't apply to me. Please help me fix my t issues. Thanks for taking the time to read my frustrations. Your fellow mac user.

If you are getting an error that cannot be repair when running Disk Utility's Repair (not Verify), you can either get a tool like Disk Warrior from Alsoft to fix it -OR- you can back up your data, reformat the drive, and restore your data.
You can backup your data using a cloning program (such as Carbon Copy Cloner) to duplicate the entire drive to an external drive. If you do this, you can reformat and run the cloning process in the other direction to restore. Or you can just back up your user data, then after reformatting, reinstall the OS and apps "fresh" before restoring your data.

I'm having this same problem, but the machine locks up for no less than 10 hours (I let it set all night). At the startup screen, it still shows "Starting udevd..." and remains there. I tried looking at the logs, but nothing gives any sort of indication of what is causing it to hang up forever. I don't have a Realtek (dmesg shows Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 1.5.1-k). As I'm still struggling with Linux at such a low level, it would probably be best to wait for the fix.
BTW, Thank you to the developers, tech support, helpers, etc. etc. for Arch Linux and all their hard work/support, without which I would be totally lost and wandering aimlessly through a barren desert with a canteen full of sand and no direction in which to go and have no real meaning or purpose in life (a.k.a. using Windows).
In case this is helpful to anyone else:

Why are you posting this on the Oracle forums, shouldn't you be talking to Remedy or BMC or whoever provides support for the product?
Also this (or other public forums) is generally not the place for urgent production issues. There are paid support channels for such issues.
Anyway, a hint:
I would probably dig into the very vague "SQL database is not available" message. Does the system have details in logs? What clues does the actual/underlying error messages provide? Is the database in question actually up and reachable from the client (i.e. app server) host?
