I would recommend you start it from scratch...
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...

Macbook Pro does not see Fast Ethernet but works fine with Gigabit Ethernet

Hi to everybody,
It is some time I have a problem connecting my unibody Macbook Pro (late 2008) to the ethernet cables in my office. There are 16 wall jacks in the lab, of which 13 are Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) and 3 are Gigabit Ethernet. No matter what I do, if I connect to the 100 Mbit/s jacks, my Macbook does not see the connection and keeps saying "Cable unplugged". If I switch to a Gigabit jack, then a connection is quickly established.
I have spent one whole afternoon debugging. Here is what I did:
My computer dual boots Mac OS X and Linux. No matter which operating system I use, the problem is the same.
Using different Cat.5 cables does not change the situation (I tried three of them.)
All the 13 Fast Ethernet jacks do not work.
All the 3 Gigabit jacks work smoothly.
What puzzles me is that my computer happly uses the newest technology (Gigabit ethernet) but has problems with the oldest one. Has somebody else experienced the same problem?

After a lot of struggle, I discovered that other people had this very issue as well. It seems that the cause is a faulty Realtek chip used in the ethernet cards of some MacBooks and other brands. There is apparently no way to fix this: I solved my problems by buying a Gigabit Ethernet switch which I connected to the Fast Ethernet wall jack. (Another option might be to use a Ethernet-to-USB adapter - but I did not try this as I have no adapter of this kind.)

Can't get my tv to home share with my pc anymore. It's been working for 11 months and all the sudden lost connection. I even created 2 new itunes accts and logged in on my pc but the tv won't accept any log in.

Our Apple TV worked great for 11 months and all the sudden it doesn't get itunes, netflicks or anything. Won't even let us log into it. Says Itunes isn't available however it's available on my pc and lets me log in on any pc. I even created 2 new accts and logged into them on the pc but apple tv still won't allow login. Tried reconfiguring wifi and other settings. No go still. Help!

maybe this link will help http://www.makeuseof.com/answers/play-media-files-mac-formatted-external-hard-dr ive-hdtv/ unfortunately its for file up to 4 GB size, otherwise try to connect your mac directly to your Tv or I suggest contacting SAMSUNG about this issue, maybe the have assigned softwares for this formatting issues like in western digital for example.

HT1595 cannot connect ATV to actiontec router with wired ethernet. router does not see ATV. is there a way to test the ATV ethernet port on the back?

have an 3g ATV (5.0 4099) wired via coax cable to actiontec MI 424-wr router. Router cannot see ATV. Is there a way to test ethernet connector on back of ATV? ATV does work when setup for wireless but its much too slow for actual use when configured that way.

Steve,
I think the isssue is clearly that your router is not acting as a DNS Server. You will need to contact Verizon to see how to configure it so that it does supply the DNS addresses. If you can configure it in your Router try using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as the DNS Server addresses. These point it to Google's Public Domain DNS Servers. There are others (opendns.org). But for now these will hopefully get you up and running.

IMovie "does not see" videos from my Canon Vixia HF M32 and shuts down. Any ideas?

Lately, I have not been able to download videos as I used to from my Canon Vixia HF M32. My iMovie would not see the camera and would often close unexpectedly. It then gives an incomprehensible error message. I have no idea why this is happening or what to do. I was able to dowload some videos using a pc and a different software. Any clue?
Thanks

iMovie HD (version 5 and 6) works only with Firewire cameras, DV or HDV.
Footage from other types of cameras can be converted for use. Try VoltaicHD and convert to Apple Intermediate Codec (1080i or 720p) for HD footage or DV for SD (Standard Definition) footage.
If all you want to do is creating a DVD, go for SD footage in the DV format. A DVD is always SD.

TS2832 My laptop, after updating to Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.1 , won't boot...I get a grey square box saying I have to restart my computer by holding down the start up key. I reset the pram, and it worked for about 5 days, now nothing works??

My laptop keeps shutting down to a square box with writing that says, you must restart your computer. Use the start up key and hold it down. athen it has some writing looks like german or dutch also in the box. The first time it did this, I updated to Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.1 and I reset the pram and it worked fine for about 5 days. Then it started doing the same thing, but this time resetting the pram doesnt work for repair, and I also cant start up in safe mode now. Any ideas what happened, or suggestion on a fix for this?????
Any help would be appreciated!!!!!!

IMovie is not letting me drag and drop transitions, music, text boxes. Worked fine all along and now nothing. What happened?

iMovie has always let me "drag and drop" transitions, music, text boxes etc into my Project. This morning it is not allowing me to "drag and drop" anything. This is for a client and I am so frustrated. What happened to make it stop letting me "drag and drop"?

I have only dragged Titles to the project. When I did, it worked best not to drag and release onto the video strip (like with the old version) but just above the strip. When you drag and hover above the strip you get a little pointer to the starting point on the strip. Hope this helps.

Airport Extreme worked for 2 days and now wont

3 days ago I wasted $600 on an Airport Extreme, 500Gb external drive, and the family pack of leopard excepting to use time machine with the shared airport disk. I quickly realized that wont work, maybe they'll fix it one day. What really ***** though is that my wireless connection was working perfectly for 2 days and then just died. Last night i boot up my macbook and get the network not found message. I entered my info manually and got it to connect, but it was extremely slow loading my homepage and then the connection simply stopped working. This is happening on both my brand new black macbook with leopard installed, and my fairly new white macbook that is still running tiger. I've reset the airport a few times and still the same results.
Did i get a defective router? I think i can still return it under apple's (supposed) return policy, should i just return it and go back to my reliable linksys g band router?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, following your advice i opened up the iMac and made sure it was well in place. It deem seem a little loose, but, it was still in the socket. After trying this, it still does not pick up the signal.
Any other ideas?
It just seemed to stop working , all of a sudden, !
I have noticed other people with similar problems,,
Thanks for any advice you can give me

My iMovie isn't opening -- it worked fine earlier today and now nothing

I worked on a couple movies today, deleted a few projects and a couple hours later my iMovie has just stopped coming up. I don't know what to do. I read somewhere to put iMovie in the trash but I have several things on there that I don't want trashed so that isn't an option for me. I'm so frustrated. I have the snow leopard (I think) - the one before the new system that came out this year. I haven't updated cause when I bought my new video camera th esales woman said that the new system doesn't work with this camera --- so now I have a new camera I can't even use cause the iMovie won't open. It comes up on the top - just that informational stuff but not the actual iMovie -- I scrolled down for check for updates and it popped up for a millisecond. Don't know what to do - tried turning the computer off but still nothing.

Try this:
Reboot your Mac, while holding down the Shift key (this is called Safe Boot Mode). When you see the timer start spinning, and eventually see the text Safe Boot Mode, let go of the Shift key.
When you see the Desktop launch iMovie and see if it can load the program.
If it fails, try deleting the Preferences file for iMovie.
Go to Mac HD > Users > (your home folder) > Library > Preferences > look for com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
If you have an earlier version of iMovie installed it might be named something like com.apple.iMovie8.plist.
Move that file to the desktop by dragging it out of the folder. Or even drag it to the trash. Try launching iMovie again.

Help! Getting iTunes Error 11503 and Error (-50) was working fine this morning and now nothing

My iTunes has been working fine until this afternoon and now when I go to download music I am getting error code 11503 or (-50) Help, please!

Here's a possible fix for Error 11503 and for error 50.
It worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.
I believe this error is caused by the incomplete downloading of either an update to an app, or perhaps a big music file. In my case it was caused by closing the lid on my laptop when I was downloading app updates on a very slow internet connection in a hotel.
Anyway, here is what I did that fixed it completely.
Close iTunes.
Go to this folder : /iTunes/Mobile Applications/Downloads
You'll find tmp files there. Drag them out of this folder to a temporary folder on your desktop. The Downloads folder should now be empty.
Restart iTunes.
All should be fine.
If it's not, then I can't help further, but that's what worked for me.

Hi I have used my macbook pro with miniport to HDM, and it was working fine. Hadnt used it for a month and now when I connect the TV, the screen on the mac goes blue then back to the page but nothing comes up on the TV. Any ideas?

Hi I have a year old Macbook pro. I was using a miniport to connect it to the TV via HDM cable. It was working fine but I have used it for a couple of months kept it in a drawer and now it doesnt work. When connected to the TV the screen on the mac goes blue as though there is some signal then back to original screen but the TV doesnt show what's on the laptop. Please any suggestions, thanks??

Hello nothingissecret
Check out the article below for troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue. One would be to try a different cable or adapter to test with the television.

I BOUGHT A IPHONE OFF A GUY ON THE STREETS IT WORKED FOR A WEEK AND NOW I THINK IT IS BLOKED WHAT SHUD I DO

I BOUGHT AN IPHONE 4 OFF A GUY IN THE STREET IT WAS WORKING FOR A WEEK OR TWO AND NOW I CANT MAKE OR RECIEVE CALLS WHAT SHUD I DO. PLZ HELP.

Did you sign up for a contract with AT&T? I assume so but had to ask.
And why in the world would you buy a phone from some guy on the street? Guys on the street are great if you want to buy a rock in a shrinkwrapped box or if you want something illegal or stolen but that's about it. Think of this problem as tuition.

New router does not see the Internet

I replaced my MI424WR Rev. D with a new MI424WR Rev. I. The old version D work very well put I wanted the WPA2 sercuity of the the new router. I follow the instructions that came with the router and hooked up the router as instructed. Lights on the router started to light up and turn green except on: The Intnet light. After waiting ~15 minutes, I went through the usual procedure of checking the cable, unplug the router and replugging it in and resetting the router. I even reset the ONT. I was wondering is there something else I can do before having to clean out the closet and call in a tech to see if he or she can fix it.
Solved!

You need to release the IP address from the old router. You can also plug in the new router and call Verizon and have them do it.
