Trying to connect to my MacBook 2008 via VNC

Hello,
I am trying to share my screen from my macbook running Mac OS X 10.7.5, 4Gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM with my Fedora 18 boc. I am using Remote desktop viewer to connect vis VNC.
I have tried the following:
- Turned off all firewall applications
- tried the preferences > Screen Sharing
-- Only administrators can be chosen. When I go to add a user it won't take. i don't know why.
- I have also trild Remote login and Remote Manaement.
Strangely enough, I can SSH into the box but I need the screnn.
Any advice is most appreciated.
V/R
Dave

Connecting kurzweil sp88 to GB I want to connect my Kurzweil sp88 to GB. The Kurzweil has a baffling array of buttons and possible MIDI channels. It also has the old style MIDI plug ins. I've got the MIDI out connected to my MacBook Pro via USB adapter.

I have my Kurzweil connected to my MacBook Pro via an adapter (old style MIDI from Kurzweil to USB adapter connecting to Mac). The Kurzweil has a baffling array of buttons and possible MIDI channels. Can anyone please tell me which of the channels I should use? Also, should I leave the MIDI In cable out of the Kurzweil? Thanks for as detailed an answer as possible. If you like you can respond directly to me at [email protected]

First of all I do not own this keyboard. But a quick look at the manual (found on the internet) says that when first powered up the SP88 is in Internal Sounds mode. Meaning you hear the sounds selected when playing the keyboard. It also stated that the default Midi Transmit Channel is Midi Channel #1.
Looks like you would need to go to the SP88 Keyboard's MIDI SETUP and simply select LOCAL OFF. Now the keyboard should be ready to transmit Midi Out only and no internal sounds should be heard.
Next you may or may not need to do this but you might need to go into the Utilities Folder found in your Applications Folder on your Mac and double click AUDIO MIDI SETUP the keyboard Icon. Figure #1 below.
Next you need to make a physical connection from the Midi Out of the SP88 to the Midi In on your Midi Interface. Figure #3 below. You may need to Click on Add Device first. Figure #2 below.
In the examples shown below I have a Yamaha Electronic Drum Kit that is Midi Out only... not USB out. I had to plug a Midi cable from the Midi Out Port on the back of my Drum Module to the Midi In Port on the back of my Motu 828 Audio Inferface which is connected to my Mac. Next I created the Audio Interface and Drum Module "Devices" as mentioned above.
I then double clicked on the Drum Module and made my Midi Out Selections. Figure #4 Below. And once it was setup and the icons closed I used my mouse to draw a virtual cable connection from the Drum Module Out to the Audio Interface In. Figure #3 below. This is how I got my Midi Devices to talk to one another.
Once you have made your setup as I have outlined create a MIDI Instrument Track in Garageband, select an instrument for example a Piano then Record Enable that track in Garageband and see if you now hear what you are playing. In this example the SP88 is a Midi Controller only and you will only hear sounds selected in Garageband which is what you want.
Keep in midi your setup may be different than mine. You can keep your SP88 Keyboard on the default Midi Channel #1. That would be a good place to start. Garageband receives Midi on all channels.

I have a HP wireless printer, and im trying to connected to my macbook pro. But will not connect..

I have a HP wireless printer, and im trying to connected to my macbook pro. But will not connect..

Isaaura - what printer model do you use?
While opening Safari click the Bookmarks icon and select Bonjour.. can you see the printer listed there?
(If Bonjour is not listed click Safari > Preferences > Bookmarks and check Bonjour within the Collections section)
Can you access the printer by typing its IP from Safari?
If the printer not available only thoguh Bonjour but an be reached by its IP, what router brand and model are you using?
Templeton Peck - correct me if I'm wrong, the different OS X forums have a dedicated forum for printing and scanning.. as Apple no longer produce printers about the last 2 decades I would assume those forums meant to deal with other manufactures over OS X..
john galt - Am I spelling OS X correctly?

MacBook Pro 1,1. OS X 10.6.8 Trying to connect an Edirol FA-101 via FireWire, Macbook not recognizing device.

Hello,
I'm trying to connect an Edirol FA-101 to my MacBook Pro. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Other fireWire devices and drives work on the port, but the Edirol is not showing up in Audio MIDI setup or anywhere. I've tried both DC power and Bus power on the Edirol. Did the SMC reset, flashed the PRAM. Reset Permissions in safe mode. Still nothing. The lights on the device show that it is on and connected, but in system profiler I get "Warning: Unable to list firewire devices."
Any ideas?
Josh

Hate to say it, but it sounds like the device has gone kaputt.

Hi dude!
Checking the dbsl_w<NN> as it is explained in point 3 of the 'Troubleshooting' section of [SAP note 738371|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/738371] would help a lot to know the reason of the failure.
I hope this helps you!

Tried to connect ipod to sound system via USB and asked to format. Pls Help

I have tried to connect my ipod to the dvd system via USB port. It asked me to format the ipod and i pressed yes and than instantly plugged the ipod out [realized what i did]. anyway the meessage on the scereen was that I had to connect it to the pc and itunes to resolve the problem. When i connected Itunes asked me to restore it. I know that if i restore than i will lose all my music. Is there is any other way to fix it?
Thank you very much I really appreciate your help.

Restoration is relatively simplistic. Here's whatcha do. Plug your ipad in, open itunes, now if itunes doesn't recognize it then you may have a problem, anywho, click on the ipad in the devices interface and go to the info tab, click restore, and it'll be just like it was when it left the factory. To get you data back, it should ask if you would like to use a backup, just select the backup you want and you'll be good to go. That is if you regularly backed up your iPad.

IPhone 4s keeps trying to connect to a Macbook Hotspot but no internet

Hello,
I've setup a hotspot on my macbook (OS X10.5.8 leopard) and created a WEP 128 bit password. I found the network on my iphone 4s, selected the network, entered the password.
The iphone4s keeps trying to connect to the network (the moving circle that means something is loading) keeps appearing beside the network's name without turning into a tick when the nwtwork is selected. this happens although sometimes the wifi bars appear at the top of the iphone screen.
When i got a website on safari, i get "can't open the page because you're not connected to the internet"
Anyone knows what is the solution?
Thanks

I figured it out. Thanks for taking the time to read. Incidentally, if this happens to you: Go to your PODCASTS. find the annoying podcast that is causing the issue. Delete that bad boy.

Trying to connect Touch to the net via my iMac Airport Exteme

Hi
I recently bought a new iMac g5 and an ipod touch. I have tried to connect the touch by setting up a network on the iMac .The touch recognises it but when I try safari it says not connected. I have another iMac (power pc) and have tried recently linking the 2 via Airport also with no joy..Can anyone share there comments..
cheers

Don't just upgrade without checking out the detail first. I posted this in another thread earlier today:
Firstly ensure you have full backup your can restore from - Time Machine or clone, in case you need to restore to the previous OS for any reason.
Make sure your computer meets the specs: https://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Although the tech specs say 2gb of RAM is required, user experience seems to indicate that at least 4gb is required for real-world use.
Be aware that any older PowerPC apps will not longer run as Mavericks (or Lion and Mountain Lion) don't support Rosetta, which enabled the ability. If you rely on any you may need to do lots of updates or replace some apps. Here is a fairly comprehensive list of compatibility of various apps:
http://roaringapps.com/apps
If you decide to upgrade download and install Mavericks from the Mac App Store (in the Apple menu). The installer is 5.3gb, so it's a large download. You may want to make a copy of it onto an 8gb USB stick or DVD as it could save you another big download in the future.
To do this quit the installer before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation. (Once the download is complete you are prompted to click on the 'install' button - it's at this point you quit. The file is downloaded to your Applications folder as a file called 'Install OS X Mavericks').
Some people make a bootable disk of the installer - this can be easily done using Diskmaker X:

Getting error 789 when trying to connect with a PC remotely via VPN

When we set up the VPN we are getting a Error 789 when trying to connect with a PC. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The utilities, provided on the CD, are not required for the PC to access the Internet through the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). They are only necessary for administering the base station.
If your PC is currently configured as a DHCP client, it shouldn't have any issues connecting by Ethernet. The AEBSn will assign the appropriate IP addresses required for connectivity to the Internet ... just like it does for wireless clients.

My iPhone 3GS won't connect to my MacBook Pro via USB.

When I try to connect my iPhone 3GS to my MacBook Pro, there's no sign from either end that they're connected (the device won't show up in iTunes, and it also won't charge).
I've tried the same computer, with the same cable, and a different iPhone, which works fine. I've tried a different computer as well, and the phone won't connect with that one either. When I use the same cable to charge the phone, plugging it in, it charges fine, but it doesn't whenever I plug the USB into a computer. I've tried to go through all settings that may apply, but nothing seems strange, unless I'm overlooking something? The iPhone has fairly recently been fixed (the button didn't work), and I don't think I've tried syncing it since - could it have something to do with that?
I'd be very grateful for any suggestions.

Try restoring via iTunes. I really think it's time for an upgrade. You should really consider an iPhone 4 AT LEAST since they aren't so expensive used. If you check on Craigslist, you can find one for $100. The Retina Display part is so much better than standard resolution on the 3GS and below's screen.

My LaCie Firewire 800 hard drive, connected to my Macbook Pro via Thunderbolt Cinema Display port, disconnects after sleep

I have a LaCie RAID Quadra hard drive (two disks in a case set to a redundant array) which for all intents and purporses appears as a normal hard drive to my mac.
When connected directly via FW800 to my Macbook Pro (2011, with thunderbolt port), it works perfectly.
For the sake of convenience, and since I am using it only at home as my Time Machine drive, I connected it to the FW800 port on my Thunderbolt Cinema Display. The display works perfectly in every way up until now.
When connected, the drive works great. However, when I put the machine to sleep, upon awakening it, I receive the "Disk improperly ejected" error immediately upon the screen coming up.
The drive is set to Auto mode which has always worked fine in the past; putting the drive to sleep when the computer is asleep, etc.
So, I only receive the disk ejected error when it's plugged into the Cinema Display; not when directly plugged into the MBP.
I have the 1.1 firmware update applied to the monitor.
Any ideas? I appreciate it.

My desktop has two FireWire ports. In the first one I had my webcam plugged in. In the second one, the External Hard Drive. I unplugged the camera and used the first port for my External HDrive and now it works! So it seems the problem is a hardware problem with the port.
I'd check to see if the problem returns when you plug the camera back into the second port, or if the drive works in the original port when the camera is not connected.
Edit: Maybe you unplugged the problem, when you unplugged the camera?

How do I use time capsule as a direct backup drive only connect to my macbook pro via ethernet cable

I have recently abandoned my cable internet service provider and am using my iPad as a hotspot via verizon wireless service. I am trying to reconfigure my time capsule as a back up drive only connected by an ethernet cable.
I was able to set it up on my new hotspot wireless net, but do not want to use it that way because of the data usage impact on my verizon wireless account.
Hopefully there is an easy answer, but it is not intuitively obvious to me.

Well I have to say you can do it.. but if you are plugging and unplugging ethernet, you could just as easily plug and unplug an external USB drive.. and it will be faster and more reliable than the TC.
I explained how to do the TC as a secondary network in the posts here. Look down the bottom of the discussion.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
If any of that doesn't make sense just post again here..
You can also do it with wireless if you accept using a USB wireless stick plugged into the Mac.. then you have two wireless clients and can connect simultaneously to two different networks.. using the same principles as above that you remove the gateway and dns problems that arise by manual settings.

Hi, there! My iPhone 4S refuses to connect with my MacBook Pro, via Bluetooth... Any tips?

I start the whole process as indicated. Then, my MacBook Pro recognizes my iPhone 4S and starts the pairing. But when I try to pair my iPhone w/ my MacBook, the 4S indicates "the connection failed", and also says "the MacBook Pro isn't compatible"!
Please, if you could help me I'd really appreciate. Tks!

"INVALID PASSWORD" trying to connect with a MacBook...help!

I've got a WRH54G wireless router...has one pc connected via ethernet and two Dell PC's connected wireless...all are working fine. I've got a new Apple MacBook, and I am not able to connect to my wireless network with security enabled. MacBook does connect via ethernet. MacBook does connect to my neighbors unsecured network. MacBook does connect to network at the local Whataburger restaurant. MacBook does recognize my network if I broadcast the SSID. When I try to join, I enter the network name, then select security (WPA Personal), then enter password, then click on JOIN. I then receive a INVALID PASSWORD message. Not sure if it matters but my password is like this Xxxxxxxx9( with X = letters. Does anyone know the trick to making the MacBook work with my security enabled Linksys network? Thanks for your help.

Here is what I ended up doing....all computers were talking as of last night: 1-Obtained the mac address for all 3 wireless computers. 2-Accessed the router, then went to the wireless tab>wireless mac filter. 3-Enabled mac address filtering, then entered the mac addresses of the three computers. 4-Selected the option to only allow these mac addresses to access the router. 5-Turn off the wireless security. 6-change the wireless security setting on each computer to none. Even with broadcast ssid disabled, all were able to detect and connect to the router. As I think I understand it....to access my router, you'd have to know the hidden (ssid broadcast disabled) network name, but since I am allowing access only to the mac addresses listed, you can't access my network....so this should be pretty secure. I'm a network novice, so if I'm wrong, please correct me (nicely).
