Troube getting hooked up at work place via ethernet. Can't get online.

I am trying to get hooked up at my job place, via ethernet. I need to know once I go into System Preference, and then network, what is the next step. I clicked ethernet 2 and then what should I do next, and what kind of info goes in there?

Go into the network preference pane and click on the settings button and click "Set Service Order". Drag ethernet to the top and save all your settings.

Airport TimeCapsule wireless works fine, but iMac can no longer find the time capsule disk for backups.

Hi,
I have a new Airport TimeCapsule that I set up about two weeks ago in combination with a new iMac running OS 10.9.4. It ran fine until 2 days ago, when the TC disk image disappeared from the iMac and Time Machine was not able to back up. I tried to find the TC in Airport Utility and it states the "Airport Time Capsule was previously part of your network. Check that it is still in range of your network and is plugged into a power outlet..." I've tried restarting the time capsule. I've tried restarting everything in order (modem>TC>iMac) and the iMac still cannot see the TC disk.
I've had two other issues that I will list in case they are all related somehow:
1) The time capsule took several attempts to set up when I first bought it. I had to reset the TC several times before I got all the way through the set up process successfully.
2) I tried hooking up my printer to the USB port on the airport time capsule and although my MacBook could see it and print to it just fine, my iMac was never able to see it.
The TC is hooked up to the iMac via ethernet cable. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? I'm about ready to send the time capsule back and just resurrect my old airport that worked flawlessly for years. This airport TC has been a huge disappointment so far.
Thanks

There are some real issues between Mavericks and TC .. (or just network bugginess!!)
There is a heap of things you can do but it is easier to just run through the whole lot in order. None is necessarily the cure and that is why doing all is important.
The list is in this thread.
Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule
In your case using ethernet can be a problem.. let me say please make sure you have ipv6 set to link-local only in your ethernet setup. I usually only show it in wireless but for you it must be ethernet. The wireless connection seems to be utterly required now for connection.. and hidden away into the airport utility is a switch over from wireless to ethernet. When I made the manual setup instructions above this particular ability (or stupidity) of the Airport Utility was not apparent to me.
So here is typical Airport Utility (AU) v6.. but it is actually working over wireless only. (The v5 utility was wireless + ethernet).
I have an ethernet client on the network that is completely invisible.
Click on the Other WiFi Devices (wrongly named.. it should say other devices).
And you will see the option to choose ethernet.
Then the AU sees the ethernet client and none of the wireless clients.. brilliant stuff eh??
PS this is just a test setup.. never would I have any TC with such an illegal name.. But I hope it shows you what to do.
Fix the names.. most important.. keep them short.. less than 10 characters all the better.
No spaces and pure alphanumeric.

AirPort Extreme 3TB losing shared disk connection via ethernet

When my iMac is connected via ethernet can't access to shared disk, but when connecting via Wi-Fi got no problem accessing it.
AirPort Time Capsule (3TB) Version: 7.7.1
Any ideas?

blinking yellow light - open airport utility and double click it, see what it tells you is wrong.
XP can't find - connect by ethernet then configure its wireless then disconnect the ethernet.

Firefox crashed when I try to get into my work site via citrix. Internet explore does not firefox 7.01

I have firefox 7.01. and every time i try to log on to my work site via the web and client server, firefox crashes and leaves not log.
Internet explore works without issue.
How do I stop the system from crashing - i didnt have a problem in earlier versions of firefox.

This is a chronic problem. Not related to time of day. It is a permanent block on my ability to log into my Yahoo mail from the Firefox web browser on one computer ONLY. I can log in from other computers. This seems to have nothing to do with add-ons or extensions. Upgrading from Firefox 3.6 to 4.0 had no effect and this also does not effect any other web browser on the same computer.
Again, every time on try to log into my Yahoo mail using Firefox on my main desk time I get a "404 Not Found" error.
Please give me a serious answer.

When I try to connect to the wi-fi net work at my work place on my new iPad 3 I get a message, "unable to join the network". I have verified the password, so I know it is correct. I know the wi-fi works, because I can connect at home.

When I try to connect to the wi-fi net work at my work place on my new iPad 3 I get a message, "unable to join the network". I have verified the password, so I know it is correct. I know the wi-fi works, because I can connect at home. I have already tried the following:
turn wi-fi off and on again
did a hard restart of my iPad
reset network connections back to factory settings
verified wi-fi is working as my computer accesses internet without issue.
verified that my software is up to date.
Does anyone have more suggestions?

Couple of suggestions.
First, many companies have a gateway on their networks that block non approved devices. I work in such a place. You might check with an IT guy , and see if they have a block in place.
Second, the message you are getting means that you have not negotiated the security settings. So either the password is wrong ( case sensitive), or, in some cases, they want a network key as opposed to your normal password.
Again, if you can find one, talk to an IT guy and see if he has some suggestions.

How do you go about getting signal at your work place?

Hi,
None of the verizon customers at my work place get any signal at all. However, other providers(ATT/T-mobile) all have signals.
Can verizon provide a signal booster or anything for that matter to get us some kind of signal?
We are located in Pasadena California.

This could be an option. http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/samsung-network-extender-scs-2u01/

Putting video clips (mov) in to edit work place time line after photos (jpeg) getting error message, the importer reported a generic error. ? please help thanks

premier elements12, putting video clips (mov) in to edit work place time line after photos (jpeg) error message, the importer reported a generic error. ? please help.

TINA54
Thanks for the reply.
Some general comments...
Regarding:
THERE ANY WAY I CAN PUT MULTIPLE RANDUM TRANSITIONS IN TO THE TIME LINE WITH JUST ONE CLICK ? .
There is no transition choice for random transitions across the Premiere Elements 12 workspace Timeline. But, the Elements Organizer 12/Create Menu/Slideshow and its Slideshow Editor does have that random transition choice. So, one possibilitity would be to create your slideshow in Elements Organizer 12 Slideshow Editor and then move the slideshow into Premiere Elements with the Output of Edit with Premiere Elements Editor command.
Pending more details of the slideshow you are creating, I think that you would get your best photo quality and overall results staying with Premiere Elements 12 workspace (1080p) project and the transitions randomized manually.
perhaps applying the default to all (all at the same time),
using Timeline Menu/Apply Default Transition,
and then replacing transitions randomly for the random transition look).
Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thanks.

HT3728 My Time Capsule won't allow me to access my home network each day (intermittently) between about 1000-1800. My modem is working properly, and I can get on-line by hooking my computer straight to my modem, so I know it's the Time Capsule at fault. I

My Time Capsule won't allow me to access my home wireless network for several hours each day -- usually between 1000-1830 or so. My modem is working correctly and I can still get on-line by going straight from my computer (MacBook Pro) to the Ethernet port. It must be the Time Capsule -- any ideas?

Any ideas?
Wireless Interference
Might be caused by a cordless phone in the vicinity. To give you an example, my neighbor.....across the street...used to be able to literally crash my wireless network if he was in his front yard talking on his cordless phone.
I discovered this by accident one day after spending weeks trying figure out why my network would crash at random times.
Other possibilities include a wireless security/camera system near you
Still other things might be an amateur ham radio operator....which should not interfere....but again from experience, I know that this can occur.
Yet another possibility is another wireless network near you that is being turned on and off at random times. Some users power up their modem/router only when they want to do so and leave it off otherwise.
Some general rules to help avoid interference:
Move any cordless phones that you might have as far away as possible from the Time Capsule and/or your computer(s)
Avoid placing other electronic devices....computer, television, amplifier, satellite receiver, etc. near the Time Capsule and/or your computer(s)
Avoid metal surfaces near the Time Capsule and/or your computers
Elevate the Time Capsule as much as possible. Think of it as a water sprinkler....you want to get the room as wet as possible
Experiment with different wireless channels on the Time Capsule. To do this:
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule
Click Edit
Click the Wireless tab
Click Wireless Options
Start with Channel 11 on the 2.4 GHz band and work your way down
It is unlikely that you are picking up interference on the 5 GHz band since there are.....for now at least.....far fewer networks using this frequency.

Can't get time capsule to work via ethernet direct to mac

Hi All
I am having trouble setting up my time capsule direct to my mac via ethernet it works fine through my router backs up a treat via ethernet.
Can anyone help me through the process have looked online but they all set them up through their routers.
Cheers

If you reset the Time Capsule by holding in the reset button for 10 seconds and then releasing and allowing it to restart, then you need to connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on your wireless router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
Then configure the Time Capsule to create a new wireless network. You don't have to use this new network....you can use your existing network if you want.
Then connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.

AE works, modem works, but can't get online

This problem is driving me batty! I recently purchased a new G4 Powerbook (running Tiger 10.4.2) and Airport Express directly from Apple. At the time I didn't have internet access at my house yet but was planning on getting it within a few weeks. I was ecstatic that in the meantime I was able to take my brand spanking new computer and AE to a friend's house and get online wirelessly from there quite easily by connecting the AE to their home router. I later had Adelphia come out to my house and install cable internet. The cable tech didn't know beans about routers but he did get my internet working pretty quickly through a direct ethernet connection from the RCA DCM425 modem to my laptop. After he left I surfed online for a bit and then decided to try hooking up the AE, expecting it to work as simply as it had at my friend's house.
Ha!
I have been messing with this thing for nearly a week now and have not been able to figure out what in the world is the problem. It works beautifully at my friend's house and not at all at mine. AE has a green light, the modem lights look right and it works when connected directly to my computer, I have a full signal and airport is on and the checkmark is on next to my network and interference robustness is on and Internet Connect says I'm connected via ethernet and all systems are go.......but when I try to open a webpage (any page), Safari sits and thinks for the longest time before telling me I'm not connected to the ethernet. Power cycling everything and exhaustively searching all the settings hasn't helped.
It can't be the AE because it works at my friend's house, it can't be the modem because it works when I'm hooked in directly, so it has to be some setting somewhere in my laptop, right? I know I'm supposed to be on DHCP, not PPPoE, I've tried it with and without distributed IP addresses, I've gone through Network Diagnostics, Airport setup, Admin Utility, network preferences, Safari preferences....I've tried resetting everything to the defaults, I've downloaded the latest Airport updates, I've tried using a different browser, I've tried holding my breath and crossing my fingers and turning blue, but nothing works. Airport Express is supposed to behave as a wireless router...but instead it's behaving like a mute piece of pretty plastic and I'm losing sleep at night because I can't stand being beaten by a machine. Please help - I'm losing my mind!! Thank you o angels of the discussion boards...
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Danae leFae
DHCP and PPPoE and where they apply (i.e. at the internet or wireless side of the AX and in the Powerbook OS) can be confusing.
The AX configuration may not be what your cable modem needs, although it may have been fine with your friends internet connection (was it a cable modem like yours or a DSL modem router?).
Can you check your laptop Network Preferences settings for the successful ethernet wired connection to your cable modem - ( but make sure it is connected up and working for the internet first). Then check what it shows for the Built-in Ethernet configuration TCP and PPPoE tabs.
This should clarify what is needed for the AX configuration and the Powerbook when using the AX, and maybe put you on the right track.

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM. My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore. Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc. I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads. Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system. I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system. But are there other options to connect the new TC. Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above. after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working. Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
Now a rant. I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work. The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network. Are we going backwards?
Thanks!

Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
I think this is mistaken.
Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC. the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
Thanks again!
You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

I have an HP LaserJet 8150N that I am trying to get connected via ethernet cable directly to my iMac. I always had this printer connected via a network so I don't know if I am able to connect directly with a cable since it is a network printer.

I have an HP LaserJet 8150N that I use for my work and I have had this printer for ever and it is one heck of a work horse! I am trying to get it connected via ethernet cable directly to my iMac. I always had this printer connected via a network so I don't know if I am able to connect directly with a cable since it is a network printer. I have tried to reconfigure the printer using the JetDirect menu giving it a new IP address but still no luck. If anyone could help me through this issue I would appreciate it.

Thanks for responding.
When does clicking on "Connect As" happen in the process above?
After step six? Seven?
After the connection has failed?
Is this the FInder window that shows the icon of the computer you want to copy the file from?
You should see "Connect As" in the Finder near the top right of the window as shown below:

Wireless works great. Wired can't get to work

I have an Extreme (N) that I bought just after the added Gigabit ports to it. I also have an old Express connected using WDS to boost the signal in the back of my house. I started having issues w/ wireless latency in the back room so I ran an ethernet cable from the Extreme to the Express. No matter what I did, I couldn't get the express to work (ie. communicate w/ the extreme) over the wired wire. If I plugged my macbook into the same cable and it works immediately (I get an IP address and internet connectivity). The odd thing is that when I plug in the cable, it shows a link light on the extreme so I know that it's communicating somehow.
I ended up moving the express back to WDS and just moved it closer to the extreme and that has helped the latency.
But now I want to hook up my Samsung Blu-ray player to that wired line and again, I cannot get the Blu-ray player to talk to the extreme. It will not get a DHCP address, will not communicate w/ the internet if I assign a static IP address, and when I try to ping it from my macbook I get 85% packet loss.
I would have thought this was a bad player if I hadn't had the previous experience w/ the express doing the exact same thing.
Any thoughts?

Hey DaddyPaycheck
It may not be about the "auto-negotiation" thing.
"auto-negotiation" is controlled by the hardware at boot up to check the NIC state. If a cable is connected at both ends, it detects a line voltage else ignores the NIC. If line voltage is present it starts testing certain pins #'s to see what's at the other end.
Test order ... WAN Port, LAN Port, Cable type Crossover, Cable type Straight, Client to Client, Client to Server, WAN to WAN, LAN to LAN, WAN to LAN, LAN to WAN, Negotiate a speed of the cable connection else BAD CABLE & ignores the NIC completely. Good Grief
This is totally unnecessary if you use the correct cable type & kind. Sorry if I sound like a broken record but too many posters keep blaming the SL upgrade but that's only the end result of new network requirements. Even I was able to use a Cat 5e @ 1Gbit/s with Leopard but SL drop it to 100 Mbit/s. I knew they changed something, found what they did, hacked it to make it work but the packet loss was incredibly. Switched to Cat 6 cable, now all is find and dandy.
For whatever reason each subsequent release of OSX seems to make the Mac "pickier" about the quality of the Ethernet cables it will work with. You can't even imagine how many posters scoff at me when I suggest a new cable.
Dude, I've seen some of your replies in posts around here. I look for them for sheer amusement.
I have had many instances throughout my career where a cable will work fine on one machine and not on another. Since a new cable is often only a few bucks it is a cheap, easy fix when it does work
An client called me with DSL problems the day after I set it up & I still laugh him. He moved the DSL modem so he could see the blinking lights but he rolled up the cable with twist ties. He didn't believe me when I told him about Crosstalk, I had to prove it to him.
No mater what you do some people just don't understand.
