Sonicwall no longer functions on Mavericks, Cisco Connect no longer works on Mavericks

Hi, I have a couple of issues with two programs since upgrading to Mavericks.
The first is Sonicwall, a VPN which I use to remote desktop to my work computer. It was very handy when it worked so I am trying to get it back without downgrading back to lion. Has anyone other than that one blogger figured out how to use Sonicwall on Mavericks.
The second is Cisco Connect a basic router utility I use at home to connect to administer the Linksys router. Neither of these programs are apparently supported on Mavericks.
So my question is: Why aren't these basic applications supported on the new operating system? How could it be so different than Lion that a basic java application is not supported? You can understand my frustration since I run programs like Revit which are non-native and license dependent so the only way is to use a VPN window to my work PC.
I will take my comments off-air and would appreciate any insight or work arounds you may have.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi William,
Thank you for your response. I have made initial contact to the vendors. Linksys has not issued an update to this program( why should they...). I asked my network administrator regarding the sonicwall connection and he said it could be a java issue. I have upgraded my java but still no fix. I am concerned that this possible from closing other loopholes in the apple OSX with this previous operating system update.
I just don't understand why it is so different than Lion that these simple programs won't work. It looks virtually the same. On windows you can run a Windows NT program on Windows 7, seems like you should always be able to run older versions with a new operating system, i.e. AutoCAD.
Thanks for the suggestion.

E1000 won't connect to Cisco Connect or the Web based set up

My router is working fine but I cannot connect to Cisco Connect or the web based advanced features now. I know I broke the cardinal rule by using advanced set up so that explains why Cisco connect won't work. But I can't figure out why I can't connect to the advanced web based utility now. Who made the decision to put some features in cisco connect but not include those features in advanced settings? And then if you use advanced settings cisco connect no longer works. This is such a turn off I'm actually thinking about returning the thing to Best Buy. That's like saying "if you open the hood of your car and touch anything parts of your car will no longer function". I call support and they repeat what they read on paper "reset the router and start over and don't use advanced settings". What a pain in the &^%$.

I've reinstalled the router again and just switched the ssid and password where it was before so all the devices in our home can connect. I first shut down the guest account using Cisco Connect (which is the only place you can control the guest account) and now I just use the advanced settings. So of course Cisco connect no longer works. I've got a strong signal all over our home. No disconnection issues at all. But this software design that puts some features in one part and other features in advanced and then shuts down cisco connect if you use advanced is insane. If I knew cisco was planning a firmware upgrade to give the advanced mode everything cisco connect has and more then I'd keep this thing. For the life of me I cannot understand why any software engineer would come up with such a design as this. And quite honestly I tried to play by their goofy rules of not using advanced settings and cisco connect died after about 4 uses. Never would connect again. Just said call support (in India) and after telling your life's story to someone simply being told to hit the reset button, power off and start the process all over again. If anyone at Cisco reads this stuff I think I have a legitimate complaint. Why on earth would you put features in Cisco Connect that aren't in advanced and why would you stop running Cisco connect just because I hard coded some mac addresses in advanced mode? I would love to know the logic behine such a crazy implementation of software.

Cisco connect software wants to match the admin password to cisco connect password?

As much as possible i want only one SSID for my router, so i dont want to have another SSID for guest. To protect my router
settings I need to have a different admin password from those of passphrase (i.e. wifi password).
Why is it that cisco connect software wants to match the admin password to cisco connect password?
The cisco connect password is the same as the passphrase. I think its unsafe to have similar passes for both admin password
and passphrase.
Is there any way that cisco connect software would work under different admin password & passphrase?

From what I can tell, the router is set up so that it broadcasts two seperate SSID's with two unique passwords. If you logon to the SSID-Guest network, you are not allowed any kind of Admin access to the router. If you attempt to use the Cisco Connect software, you'll eventually get an error saying that it could not find a network (unless there is an unconfigured router running factory defaults in range). I verified this using a Cisco Linksys E4200 and a few laptops.
So long as you utilize the guest network properly, you should be able to maintain security on your network and use Cisco Connect. Obviously this isn't ideal for most commercial use, but then again I don't know why you would want to use this software on that scale.
If you are trying to keep one SSID for the network, I think you're going to have to use the web based service and do a little manual configuration.
TLDR: Seta different password for the guest network and never give out the primary network password. Guests don't have admin access, even while using Cisco Connect so long as they are connected to the -Guest SSID.

Downloaded Cisco Connect for E1200 v2 disk image damaged. Now what? recent Mountain Lion upgrade

I had originally set up my E1200 Jan 2012 & had Cisco Connect setup. I didn't use it much but back in Oct after being away for 10 days I didn't have internet connection. Had to re-set both cable modem--then I at least had connection via ethernet, but still no wifi connection. Had to turn off for awhile to get it Router to properly reset & work. & then I think I had to do another reset maybe in Dec, can't remember exactly.
As I mention in another post, I have been having frequent intermittent not connected to internet messages for a long time. Usually if I just turn wifi off & then turn it back on it finds my network (although frequently I notice that it was on my guest network rather than main). I still don't know if it is cable modem, router or my ISP, altho they came out & checked & said signals ok, but modem could be going (Its old but about to move so don't want to buy new modem now).
I updated to Mountain Lion about 2-3 weeks ago.
After a Panic last night I was advised to make sure everything updated including router firmware.
When I opened Cisco Connect it said I had an unsupported Operating System. Trying to figure this all out, I finally found links to download Cisco Connect that are supposed to be compatible w Mountain Lion (at least the original link said that, but not where I went w the links so hoping it is right link for that). Anyway I downloaded it & was reading a bit & then clicket on the setup icon.
That said it was damaged & to eject it. I downloaded it via wifi just like I download other software. Maybe it is hyper sensitive so I need to take it over to plug directly into my cable modem? But then that will mess up the router, although I guess it will need to be reset any way.
So I think i need to get Cisco Connect updated so it works w Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion told me about 1 software that wasn't compatible but didn't pick up on Cisco Connect.
So don't know if I need to do a hard wired download, unlike the way I download other things, or what to get an undamaged copy. I then hope that it will see the old version, even though it isn't didn't work & hopefully pick up all my settings & all.
& then I guess I still need to check for a firmware update. & I understand that a firmware update should be done w a good connection (although the user manual just says good signal, web says hard wired ethernet. & because of the intermittent issues I plan to to it manually by 1st downloading & then installing from the download so there won't be a risk of interruption during install--if its even needed.
I'm running on a mid April 2010 13" MacBookPro
Any suggestions? This all is rather confusing.

Well I was trying to update Cisco Connect so it would work w Mountain Lion but after 3 tries at the download I kept getting this same error message that it is downloaded. I even shut down & restarted before the last time w same result.
I should not have to spend hours of my time to get this to work. That is ridiculous.
Right before starting this process I checked for Apple updates & found a firmware update for my MacBookPro. I quickly downloaded & installed it, no problem. It took a very few minutes & then I backed it up & started working on this many hours ago.
I am an end user--not an IT professional. I just want things to work. I should not be expected to have to spend hours trying to figure out how to get stuff to work & still it doesn't. So I guess Linksys doesn't care that much about making things easy for Mac users.
I recently had the cable co come out & check the levels & all. they all checked out ok & they did change the fittings in several places on the coax connecters for good measure.
My cable modem is set up just across my living room from me & it is not a large living room. The router is right next to it, but it is not at a desk or place that is very comfortable to set up my Mac.
I sure hope that those security settings have been set up by default when I orginally set this up about a year ago. & I don't reall know how to change those settings without Cisco Connect, which I have been unable to get reinstalled since i keep getting those warnings about it being damaged.
I just want my computer devices to work. I don't want to have to spend hours troubleshooting them w poorly written instructions that don't really tell how to update firmware & Cisco Connect for tnose of us who have already had it set up before upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Having a link to download Cisco Connect that supposedly works w Mountain Lion but doesn't since it keeps giving a warning is not very helpful. There was nothing I saw in all my searches to tell what the results of even being able to upgrade Cisco Connect. Would it be able to figure existing settings? Didn't see anything that explained how that would work.
I don't appreciate my time being stolen by making it so hard to just get this updated! I"m giving up on this. I may try taking it back to Best Buy to see if they can tell if the router itself was also defective but I think I will likely go get an airport Express so I have a reliable router that is easy to use!

Mountain Lion 10.8.4-Cisco Connect-shutdowns kernel panic error-EA6500

I have:
- Mac Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.4
- EA6500 with the latests updates (firmware..) all downloaded from Linksys web
When I install Cisco Connect to setup a USB printer, the software has some kind of conflict with OS X 10.8.4 and the system has unexpected & repentine shutdowns with a restart shutdown panic error report.
If I unistall Cisco Connect the problem doesn´t happen again
After checking all available guides and software, there is no way to solve the issue. I also chat with Linksys support and they have no idea how solve it.
It is for sure a problem of Cisco Connect software compatibility with OS X 10.8.4.
Please, some solution from Linksys or a workaround with Mac terminal commands?
DON´T INSTALL CISCO CONNECT SOFTWARE TILL ISSUE SOLVED!!

Cisco Connect would not work with a router using a Linksys Smart Wifi firmware. Also, VUSB is not going to work with MAC OS 10.8 yet. Hopefully Linksys would release an update that would support MAC 10.8 on VUSB.

E3000 Router without Cisco Connect

I just setup my new E3000 which in general is working great. Being a Cisco geek at work, my first step was to connect via http and toss the Cisco Connect CD to the side. After getting the basics setup to mimic my old Cisco 871W, I started to look into some of the whiz bang features on teh E3000.
The first one that I wanted to take advantage of was having a different SSID for the 5GHz band from the 2.4GHz band. In the web interface this seemed simple to do, but although the SSID was showing up on my laptop I was unable to connect to it. As soon as I made the SSIDs the same, my laptop connected to the 5GHz side or 2.4GHz just fine. Is there some magic to getting this setup?
The other feature I wanted to setup was the Guest access. Unfortunately it looks like this feature is hidden unless you use Cisco Connect and if you don't use 192.168.1.1 for your router Cisco Connect can't see it. Am I missing something somewhere?
Thanks,

I initially had a different SSID for the 5GHz band and was able to connect my Wireless-N bridge to it without any problems. However, hours later, both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands flaked out, and now I can't get anything to connect to them. The wired portion of my router works fine. I'll be doing a firmware reinstall and 30/30/30 hard reset tomorrow. I assume it might be an issue with the firmware being 1.0. if it's not, it's being returned for another unit.
As for guest access, yes, you can only adjust it through Cisco Connect. There is no web UI option for it. If you change the password of your router, its default IP, and possibly its name, Cisco Connect will not work.
Cisco really screwed up this release. Hopefully the next firmware release will fix all of this.

BB Desktop Manager no longer works with Mac Maverick - Need Help Urgently

I have been a loyal Blackberry user since the Government of Canada officially began using these cell phones. I feel, however, abandoned by Blackberry (they obviously don't believe that it is easier to retain an existing customer than acquire a new one). I'm using a Blackberry Bold (9900) with a Macbook Pro. Everything was fine until I upgraded my Mac operating system to Maverick; my Blackberry Desktop Manager no longer works, so I cannot sync the content (contacts, calendar) of my phone with my Mac, but that's not the worst of it.
I recently had a momentary lapse and exceeded the 10 password attempts to access my phone... this accidentally wiped my phone clean... and because Desktop Manager does not work with Mac, I do not have a way to recover my data. Rogers was of no help and had Blackberry updated its desktop software months ago, as it should have, this issue would have been moot. I do not know how or why, but I was able to recover most of my data, but I'm not sure just how up-to-date tha data is and am still going through it, but I'm having issues with some functionality.
I'm in the US for several months and have suspended my Canadian services. Prior to the wipe, I was able to use wifi on my phone to send and receive emails with no problem. After the wipe, I can't send emails or bbms. I checked my blackberry internet service and all email accounts are good to go. BBMs are another issue. I need help. Suggestions please.

Apple has ceased synchronization with Mavericks. The issue lies with Apple, not with the desktop software. To mitigate the lack of sync capabilities in Mavericks you can sync your contacts and calender on your Mac with the usual suspects (Yahoo, Google). Create a backup (archive) for Contacts and Calender on your Mac first, then create one of those email accouonts that allow syncing. On your 9900 and with BlackBerry provisioning enabled create the new or existing email account. See which email accounts can sync with BB, I know Yahoo is working fine. For Yahoo, get the Yahoo Calender sync (a few bucks one-off payment required), Contacts sync works off the shelf within BB. If you reset the 9900 you should be able to restore all data with BB DTM. Please note that emails you received during the 9900 reset and the date of restore will not be available on the device. You will still not be able to sync contacts/calender over BB DTM. I hope that helps.

Scan function no longer working on my Printer

Recently moved locations and had to re set up my PC. Since then the scan function no longer works. I get the error message "Scanner reported an error", "Failed to open a session on the device". I have uninstalled and reinstalled the HP drivers, i have checked the internet connections and all are working. Actually have had a lot of troubles earlier with the rinter and the scanner re wireless connections but hoped to have finally overcome these.
Not part of the problem but a real gripe as to what is the purpose of wireless devices when they never work as well as the ethernet connected devices, someone really needs to get this sorted <gripe over>.
Can anyone help me please to get my system back up and running. I surgent now as currently on paternity leave and need to get some administrative issues doen from home in the next couple of days.
Many thanks,
This question was solved.

StevieDoug,
Thank you for trying my recommendations, I believe this is a wireless issue. Let's go ahead and start troubleshooting the network:
I would like you to shut down the Router, Printer and Mac in that order. Wait atleast 60 seconds, then power on the items in the way they were shut down. Re-attempt the scan. Was this successful or are you still getting the error message?
If you are still getting the error message, let's try Pinging the Mac and testing the connection, click on the link below:
How to Ping on Mac OS
If pings are successful the issue is not likely communication, instead it is probably a firewall blocking the scanning communication. Continue below:
To turn on firewall protection:
1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security, and then click Firewall.
2.   Open the Firewall pane of Security preferences   
3. Click the lock icon to unlock it, and then type an administrator name and password.  
4. Click Start to turn on Firewall.
To allow only specified applications and services to connect:
1. Click Advanced.  
2. Click the Add (+) button, and then select the application or service in the dialog that appears.
Are you able to complete the scan? Please let me know the results!

TS3581 iPhone 4S - The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works and it plays Albums or Genius Playlisys only (not self-made playlists). Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Previously, the iPod function enabled one to see the track that was playing and control playback (such as repeat or shuffle) via the iPhone screen. Now all I see is an "Accessory Connected" message.

Somewhere in there, is there a question for us, your fellow users in these user to user support forums?

HP OfficeJet 6500A fax no longer works after Mavericks update

After updating to Mavericks and installing the HP software drivers, the fax component no longer works. I installed the fax part of the update, and when I print to fax, instead of triggering the machine to dial a number like it did in Mountain Lion, the printer prints out garbage text. There's no relevant support page on HP's website about this issue. Anyone got their HP fax to work via print to fax from their Mac?

Hello Peter,
It sounds like you are not able to fax from your HP OfficeJet 6500A. I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Additional Information
Note: If your printer is wireless-capable, you should first add the printer to your network. Use the printer's control panel, or temporarily connect the printer to your Mac via USB. For more details, see this article.

Working here just fine. Try reinstalling:
Reinstalling Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

My cisco vpn no longer works with Lion

After installing Lion, my cisco vpn no longer works. If I force boot in 32 bit mode it works fine, so appears to be a cisco client issue. Does anyone know if CISCO is working on 64bit client compatible with Lion?

Not sure this answer helps me or anyone else. My VPN connection no longer works in Lion. How do I re-set the parameters of my VPN connection to work in Lion?
Below is what my VPN screen look like:

Remote Desktop Connection no longer working

Hi, I really hope someone can please help me. I just switched from Comcast to FIOS and I can no longer remote desktop to work - so I'm not getting paid until I can get it fixed.
The way that I was doing it before was to connect with a regular Microsoft VPN (I have Windows XP Professional), and then I would use Remote Desktop Connection to log into the work PC. Since I switched to FIOS it no longer works on either my laptop with wireless or my desktop which is connected to the router.
The VPN seems to be connecting OK; it says it is and it is sending/receiving a small bit of data. But when I open the the RDC and try to connect using the PC name it says that the computer cannot be found. I tried to connect to the IP address of it (after connecting through the VPN) and then it says it's found but cannot connect.
There is another location to which I log in using a Cisco VPN and then Remote Desktop - that still works just fine. Nothing at work has changed; everyone else can log in with no problems, including everyone else with FIOS.
I honestly have no ideas at all; this is not my area of expertise to say the least. If anyone could help I would REALLY appreciate it!
Thanks much!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It is a new Actiontec router.
I finally got it resolved; one of my coworkers suggested checking to make sure that the IP addresses were not in conflict, and they were. So, if anyone else has this problem, what happened was that the new router was assigning IP addresses to my PC's at home in the 192.168.1.x range, which was also the server at work's IP address.
So the really dumbed down version (for people like me!) is to open a command prompt on your desktop, run ipconfig /all, and then it will tell you your internal IP address. (I was getting thrown off because the ROUTER'S IP address, which is the one you can look up online, was different). If the PC's IP is almost the same as the server IP address, then you have to change the IP range on your router to something like 192.168.114.x. There's directions if you google the router specs; I had to change it in three places on the router software; the router IP, the begin range and the end range.
Thank you, jumpin68ny, for starting to help me. Hopefully now this may help someone else!
