Updated OS to 10.4.7 and PPPoE no longer connects automatically when needed

Yesterday I updated from OSX 10.4.6 to 10.4.7. I have my network settings arranged to connect to the internet (via a DSL modem) when needed, i.e., when starting an application like Entourage. This was working fine with 10.4.6, but with the updated OS I now have to connect manually. I have double checked all the settings and also created a new location to see if that would solve the issue.
Any clues? I am wondering if this is a bug with the update, or a problem on my machine, although as mentioned it was fine under the older OS.
I am new to OSX, under OS9 I would simply try deleting the preferences for the network 'location'.

Problem with PPPoE not solved, but not an issue for me anymore as I have set an airport network which is creating automatic connections.

  • Drives and printers can be connected manually when needed logon script is aborted

    Hi All,
    Could anyone help me with the issue "the computer is not in the location network (Domain) drives and printers can be connected manually when needed logon script is aborted"
    Thanks
    Atul Srivastava

    Hi Atul,
    >>the computer is not in the location network (Domain) drives and printers can be connected manually when needed logon script is aborted
    How did this happen? Did you use logon script to map drives or printers to users? If yes, did the computer have network connection to the domain controllers? You can ping the IP addresses of your domain controllers to check network connectivity.
    Besides, you can check event logs in Event Viewer to see if some related events were logged.
    Best regards,

  • HT2490 My Software Updates, my System Preference, Shut Down, and Restart no longer show up when I click on the Apple Logo. What should I do to restore these things to my toolbar?  I tried using a TM backup, but that didn't work.  I need help!!!

    Look, I have SERIOUS problems with my MacBook Pro, a computer that was given to me by Apple to replace a MacBook Pro that was defective from day one.  Now this fabulous machine from Apple is totally messed up since the upgrade to Mavericks.  I've talked with "Senior Advisors" until I'm blue in the face, but NOTHING fixes this machine.  So can SOMEONE out there PLEASE HELP ME?
    I live in rural Ireland, I cannot drive because I was in a coma at years ago (although I could drive if I had 10+ DUIs), I'm over two hours from the closest Apple Authorized Repair, I'm physical disablled and mobility impaired, and I'm terminallly ill.  So from where I stand, I really don't have time to sit around and wait.  It took Apple 11 months to sort out the problem with my original MacBook Pro;  I don't HAVE 11 months to wait for this problem to be fixed, but I've been waiting now for over 2 months, and my death clock is ticking.
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!  TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE BECAUSE I'M DYING!!!  Now is that clear enough for you, Apple?
    Sincerely,
    Kathleen Trevena-Ruane

    Have you tried to erase your drive and reinstall the OS - you should use recoery (hold Command + R keys while restarting). Since the items in the menu bar are part of the system, a clean reinstall of the system should take care of it.
    As it is dangerous to post private information in a public forum, I will ask the hosts to remove it.
    FWIW, we are all other users here - you are not addressing Apple.

    Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
    You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

  • I recently installed itunes update and can no longer connect to network nor internet

    I recently (sept 2013) installed itunes update and can no longer connect to a network nor internet wired /wireless. I know it is not the gateway as other devices work. Please help. I am not very knowledgable so exact instructions will be most helpful.

    Try connecting your computer/laptop directly to the base station with an ethernet cable to one of the external ports and install your network settings. If it finds it there, it will find it after you've reloaded your network info to the base via the Apple Utility. Hopefully when you disconnect afterward, all will be fine. Be sure not to select "closed" network although Macs will login with no prolem, PC's have trouble doing so even with the network data stored in the internet settings.
    Good luck!

  • TS1398 Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

    Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

    not much response in here which surprises me...
    Anyway... AS I am still looking for answers, I will share a couple of points that I realised...
    in Airport Utility, I noticed that my iphone MAC address was actually showing as client connected, despite my phone network showing the spinning wheel next to the network name for ever and never actually connecting.
    I am currently testing the router mode in Network to be on DHCP and NAT mode with a range from .2 to .200
    My phone is now connected....
    Everything seems to be ok and happy so far...
    strange that this router and phone have worked together for at least a couple of years, the phone works everywhere else, and all other toys connect to my WIFI just fine. the list is as follow:
    airport extreme
    Zeppelin air
    2x apple tv
    2 ipads
    iphone 4s
    2 mac
    1 pc
    I have litterally just hard reset the router with a pin just now as a last resort... same...
    I will leave the router as DHCP & NAT until a potential firmware or OS update...

  • I updated my 4s to IOS 8 and now it won't automatically connect with my Ford SYNC.  I have to turn the phone off and then on again for it to connect.

    I updated my 4s to IOS 8 and now it won't automatically connect with my Ford SYNC.  I have to turn the phone off and then on again for it to connect.
    Why is this?  My husband's 4s is still on IOS7 and it still connects automatically.

    I do not know if this will help.
    For a limited time Apple will allow you to downgrade to 7.1.2.  Hurry do not wait.

    This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
    Here's the link for the safeboot

    Asking me what I think is not what really matters here. What do you think? Do you want to wait for another update to iTunes in order to sync or backup your iPad again? That could be weeks down the road - no telling when it may be updated.
    Why dont you go through this support article and see if any of this stuff helps you? The article is for Windows users.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Here is something very simple to try. Quit iTunes and restart your computer. Then restart your iPad and try to sync/connect again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
