Read posts but still can't resolve my mac/pc networking issues :(

Hi everyone,
I'll get right to it. I have a G4 10.4.7 imac which I've had hooked up to Westell Wirespeed dsl modem (allows up to 253 users when networked, Verizon provided modem and dsl service) via ethernet. Yesterday, I bought new a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4074 Notebook. 802.11 a/b/g enabled. Today, I bought a Lynksis Wireless-G broadband router in order to set up a little network.
Problem - I connected the Lynksis to the Westell modem and my imac to the to one of the four ethernet ports on the back of the Lynksis. I turned on my notebook, for the first time, did the set up wizard for the notebook. Then I did the Lynksis set up wizard for wireless connection to the internet (notebook wireless button was switched to the "on" position). I'm able to get signal on the notebook but I'm not able to completely connect (can't access the internet or web pages).
AND
My imac won't connect at all while set up as I described above.
The Lynksis does describe specifically PC compatibility but not Mac. I didn't think that would matter as I'm connecting the imac via ethernet cable to the Lynksis.
My limited connection on the notebook also is not a secure connection. I'm limited on my PC knowledge and even though I haven't looked into this issue, I think that should be easy to make secure but I would also appreciate your input on correcting the security of the connection (just in case it's not as easy as I think). The Lynksis has a one touch "secure easy set-up" button on the front of it, but I'm obviously missing something(s) because I don't have a secure connection.
I'd appreciate your help guy's.
Thanks.
Vanessa

From your description is that you've got both the Westell and the LinkSys acting as a NAT device.
Since the Westell modem allows you to have up to 253 devices on it's 'internal' network it's clear that it's using NAT (Network Address Translation) to share a single IP address from your ISP amongst those 253 devices.
Now what you've done is added a LinkSys router into the loop using one of those 253 addresses. The default setup for the LinkSys is to do the same thing - take a single IP address from an upstream device (in this case the Westell modem) and share it amongst another 253 devices using NAT. That's likely to be your problem.
You would be far better off configuring the LinkSys as a simple bridge rather than a router - that way it simply links the wireless network (including the Toshiba laptop) with the wired network (which includes the Westell, the iMac, and any other devices on the network).
In this setup the Westell will continue to use NAT and essentially control the network, and everything should work much better.
Check the LinkSys documentation for details on how to turn on its bridging mode.

Syncing outgoing email on MacBook and iphone. Read loads of posts but still can't resolve...

Ploughed my way through loads of previous posts but have yet to find a solution.
It's that age old problem: I want to sync email on MacBook and iPhone so that changes on either device are reflected on the other.
Everything other than mail is synced succesfully via iTunes so no problem there. My email server is oneandone and accounts on both devices are IMAP. Incoming mail shows on both accounts but outgoing mail is only shown on the device the action was performed on.
Any suggestions on how to resolve? Am running 10.6 with a MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S.
Thanks
Nick

I have never found a solution (and I have looked). As I recall, if you uncheck "store sent mail on server" all the mail looks like it is sent from me.
I send a little mail from my iPad, but most of it is from my MacBook Pro.
I realize this has not resolved the issue, but I thought it would, at least, indicate that you are not alone.

I tunes will not open - have read ALOT but still can't get it going

How much is Apple losong out to what appears to be a fairly common but complicated problem. Not sure if it all started the day I upgraded to i-tunes 9 or when I renewed my Norton Anti Virus. It was working for months even when I had Norton which i have since removed using the Norton Removal Tool. When I first click on it it tries to open and I get a message saying that my Quick Time software is outdated but BEFORE I can click on that another box opens over top that says "i-tunes has stopped working" "a problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close he problem and notify you if a solution is found"
If i try again , nothing happens at all. When I go to processes I can see where it appears briefly maybe 2-3 seconds then disappears.
I have tried:
Making another user account and opening I-tunes
Removing my Norton anti virus
Uninstalling and re-installing i-tunes and quick time both together and separately....many many times
restoring previous version of i-tunes
I get the same message if i try to open just quicktime.
My i -tunes library itself will also not open.
Please tell me where to go from here
I am running a newer (3 months old) HP with Windows 7 64 bit
IDEAS???
Rob.

Excellent news, Rob! Glad you're up and running again.
Any idea as to how it got this way? I am thinking of re-installing my Norton since it has worked well for me for the last few years and I an not exactly sure if that was the problem or if was a Windows 7 thing?
I reckon Norton and Windows 7 were innocent parties here. Some other application dumped a couple of boatloads of QuickTime componentry in your sysWOW64. (Older versions of codec packs, video converter software, other file converter software, and media players that offer the opportunity to use quicktime files "without installing QuickTime" are the usual culprits here, but some games might do this too.) That might go unnoticed so long as that componentry matches the existing version of QuickTime software that you have installed on the PC ... but things turn to custard when you have to update your QuickTime version, and the versions of the componentry in /sysWOW64/ no longer match your "QuickTime proper". (On 32-bit systems, the same sort of thing happens, with the difference being that the "foreign" QuickTime componentry would typically be lurking down in the system32 folder.)
So, we pretty much get cases of this sort of thing showing up constantly at the forums, with a big pulse in reports happening after any QuickTime version update. (It produces a significant proportion of the "iTunes has encountered a problem" and "iTunes has stopped working" messages that we get reported here.) You were really unlucky in that you got a rarer version of the possible error messages ... so there's not as much relevant troubleshooting advice available on the web, which makes researching what could possibly be going wrong for you considerably harder than it is for folk with the more common versions of the error messages.

HT1695 Did iOS 6.0.2 update, but still can't connect to certain WiFi networks. FIX THIS, APPLE!

Like the subject line says, I installed the 6.0.2. update with my fingers crossed, but my iPhone 5 still doesn't connect to certain networks. Of course, Apple in their "Troubleshooter" sends me to an article telling me how to connect to a WiFi network, and to reset Network settings (which I've done numerous times).
This happens in a local coffee shop, and one odd thing is that the owner thinks he has his router set to require a password, but none of my devices show it to be a secured network (though it was and did require a password when I initially joined the network).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We have the same problem here at the university campus. See my post
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4322372
We hope that Apple will release a fixed iOS 6-Version soon.

Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4. I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files.

Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4. I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files?

Read this table http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The Olympus Stylus 1 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC.
It is not compatible with CS5 or older and never will be.
If you do not want to upgrade to CS6 or CC then you can dwonload the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Stylus 1 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5.

Updated to latest ACR 6.6 but still can't open CR2 files from Canon Rebel XSi

I updated to latest version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.6 but still can't seem to open my CR2 files in Photoshop. Can't open them in Lightroom either, no preview in Bridge or OS.
I'm running OS 10.7.2 and Photshop 12.1 x 64 which is CS5.1 I suppose.
I've downloaded Canon's EOS utility hoping that would somehow do something as well but nothing.
The images were shot on Canon Rebel XSi which is certainly supported by the newest version of ACR. So I have no clue as to what's happening... I previously downloaded these images onto my old laptop about a year ago and everything was fine, however now I'm not even getting a preview in OS. Do I have to revert to an older version of ACR (perhaps the same one I used originally?) to open these files again? These files have been stored on a hard drive, so I'm not downloading them directly from the camera-again, this probably has nothing to do with it but not sure what to do. A lot of the posts I've seen recommend downloading the latest version of ACR to fix the issue, but again I've done that and as a matter of fact the camera (Rebel XSi) has been supported for some time now...
In OS, when the image is selected no preview:
Lightroom error:
Bridge, no preview:
Photoshop error:
Ideas, suggestions?

Something appears to be wrong with your files.
Are most of your images approx. 3.7 MB?
This is very small for a 12 MP image.
If you go back to the original file on your laptop, what is the file size?
Also the fact that the Mac OS is not showing the preview is unusual.
Perhaps these files got corrupted when they were moved to your new computer.
Can you open these files OK on your old laptop?
Is the OS showing the previews on your old laptop?
Also compare the file sizes between old and new computer.
Have you tried repairing your permissions?
Try Disk Utility in your Macs Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility to see if this helps.
Good Luck!

Have been here before but still have not resolved a fix for a black screen when I try to access a PDF file using Safari...Now I've got a new iPad and need the User Guide which is only available in PDF and FireFox will not work.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record?

I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record of the articles I intend to read?

I'm currently dealing with this issue myself, except that my rMBP has NO articles in the reading list. It's a brand new rMBP too, purchased just this week, with the 2.6 Ghz Processor & 16GB of RAM.
Let's see what we can find. I may just take it back to the Apple Store.

Read the manual; still can't get it right

i've followed instructions on setting path and classpath, but still can't get the HelloWorldApp to work right. it makes the .class file fine but the java HelloWorldApp command gives this to stdout
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HelloWorldApp
maybe i have the classpath set wrong..currently it's set to C:\jdk1.3.1_01\bin\;"." is it supposed to be somewhere else? well when i use codewarrior it all works fine but i only have a trial version of it and would like to do the command line thing 1) because it's free and 2) because i like typing the commands ...also i have the exact same problem to overcome on my linux box..same error message as above.
any help is greatly appreciated..

Hello Fueley,
I can see that you are running JDK 1.3.1_01 on a Windows OS of some kind. On different Windows OS you have a a different place to set CLASSPATH environment variable. For instance, in Windows/95 you can set CLASSPATH environment variable in the autoexec.bat file. While in Windows/NT you set CLASSPATH environment variable in the Environment tab of the System Properties of the Control Panel.
First clear your classpath by typing in a DOS window:
C:> set CLASSPATH=
Then point your classpath to the current directory. The current directory is indicated by a period. The quotation marks are not needed.
To set your classpath, type in a DOS window:
C:> set CLASSPATH=.
If you want to, you can add other paths your classpath, for example, the dt.jar and tools.jar
C:> set CLASSPATH=.;C:\jdk1.3.1_01\lib\dt.jar;C:\jdk1.3.1_01\lib\tools.jar
See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/install-windows.html#Classpath for more information.

Be sure you are checking the email account that you used to set up the Apple ID you used to create the iCloud account. Also, be sure to check your spam/junk folder as well as your inbox. The email you should receive looks like the image below. When you get it, click the Verify Now link.
If it still isn't there, try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right look for a link to resend the verification email.

Don't be afraid to bump this topic. There's also an App Store forum where you might repost this question, but give some of these details in your post. I'd rephrase the topic to something like "Can't use App Store to upgrade." (Instead of can't "open".) Then give the details.

After using PayPal for over a year to make in-app purchases, now I can't. I changed my payment method to credit card but still can't. Anyone have suggestions/info?

I have been making in-app purchases with PayPal for over a year. Now I cannot. I changed my payment method to Credit card, but still can't. I can purchase music in itunes but no game purchases. My ID was disabled after a paypal dispute but after an entire evening on the phone with support and security, that was resolved. Any suggestions? If I have to spend more time on the phone with support, I will. But I would rather not.

When I click the bookmark icon on the Google tool bar I am asked to login which I do but still can't access my bookmarks.

My OS is Vista Business and I'm using Firefox version 8. I'm using the Google Tool Bar and have an icon for Bookmarks but when I click it a message pops up "Sign in to access your Google bookmarks. I sign in but still can't access my bookmarks.

The Google Toolbar isn't compatible with versions of Firefox beyond Firefox 4. If you are overriding extension compatibility to get to be enabled in Firefox 8, that isn't going to work since Google changed the logon URLs a couple of months ago; that broke the Google Toolbar even further.

I downloaded the latest iOS7 to my iPad and then the screen went blank and would not respond. I have tried pressing the two buttons together and briefly get the Apple logo but still can not restart, the logo disappears. I have tried connecting to my iMac to restore the iPad but the device does not show up (I have an old iMac). What else can I do?

You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 at the very least in order to sync your iPad with iTunes so you could update your Mac, if it can be updated, and if you care to do so.
If that's not an option, you will have to find someone that can restore the device for you with their computer running iTunes or make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them to restore the device for you.
I hope that you have an iCloud backup, because you will lose everything on the device when it is restored.
Snow Leopard can still be purchased in the U.S. Apple Online Store.

Also, I would not give up on the reset technique....holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears. It takes about 10-15 seconds and sometimes just a little longer to get the logo to appear.
