VMware Fusion with XP no longer connects to internet or wireless printer

I have an IMAC 24" with 4 GB of memory and an intel based platform. Could a recent apple software update (seem to remember ITunes & a security update) on my windows xp virtual machine operated by vmare fusion have caused my internet and networked wireless printer to no longer work? For two years everything fine and now the Windows side says: This machine doesn't have any installed network adapters. The required network device drivers may have not been installed. Of course, not being able to go on the internet from the windows side, I cannot download any drivers.
Internet and printer work fine on mac side. Using Snow Leopard OS, 2.8 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB Memory. I have to send PC only information over the internet and cannot, so very frustrating. I cannot even print the information. Please advise.
Please help!

Since Fusion is not made by Apple you should really post your question on VMWare's own forums as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

1. Try reinstall iLIfe 09 from your install disk
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
If that fails, then you're reinstalling the OS.

Firefox no longer connects to internet on my mac, and windows machines, after v18. I've tried several solutions from Mozilla support and nothing works. Firefox can't even connect to Mozilla for updates. Firefox just sits on the default search page and attempts to connect to websites by typing URLs, or by clicking on the links on the default search page don't work.

You could try the following:
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.
Let us know if this fixed your problem!

Connecting MiFi 5510L to wireless printer?

The old MiFi (4510) connected just fine. The new one (5510L) has apparently not got the ability to go into either "WiFi Protected Access" or "AOSS," which are the two standardized access modes for wireless printers (a Brother HL-2270DW). Has anyone had any success in connecting the MiFi 5510L to a wireless printer? The online manual is mute on the subject, and the Verizon phone support was useless.

MiFis do not come equiped with WPS or whatever AOSS is. Those are features on normal home routers and have never been offered on a MiFi.
If you want to connect your Brother wireless pritner to the MiFi then you must enter the connection information manually into the printer. MiFis use standard WiFi connection technologies like WPA2 and AES to secure wireless connections. Your printer needs to have a way to enter that information so that it knows how to connect. Unless you can recall specifically changing your MiFis wireless security the default should be WPA2 (Personal) and AES. Use the same WiFi password that you use with your PC to connect the MiFi to the printer.
You need to work with Brother on this one. They have the expertiese on how to configure and connect your printer to a wireless network. The printer will see the MiFi like any other home wireless router. Once you find out how to create a new Wireless Connection on the printer you will be good to go.

Vmware fusion 5.0.2 cannot connect to network on my brand new iMac '27 late 2012

Dear friends,
I have tried to install Windows 8 (x64bit) Pro., Windows XP, and CentOS 6.0 using vmware fusion 5.0.2 over my brand new iMac '27 late 2012. However, neither one can connect to the Internet. There was no problem with the same installation on my iMac 2011.
The network board recognized by Windows 8 is Intel(R) 82574L Gigabit Network Connection.
In the folder of vmware fusion's setting files on Mac OS, I found a file called Windows 8 x64.vmx, and
there is a line as follows.
ethernet0.virtualDev ="e1000e"
Any friend has the same problem or can give me some hints?
Thanks a lot!

VMware Fusion with Oracle Data Integrator - 'View data' problem

I am running ODI and Oracle 10g Express Edition under XP (SP2) under VMware Fusion (Beta 3) on a Macbook Pro. (Already lost interest??)
The packaged demo works fine..
I have created a set of tables with 10g and set up the ODI environment - physical & logical schemas, KMs etc. No problem. Successfully created reverse-engineered model from the tables. So far, fine.
When I try to view the data associated to the data stores I get error: Execution failed; ORA-00903: Invalid table name.
I have tried using different contexts etc. Obviously, the reverse engineering process can 'see' the tables..
Any advice please?
Many thanks, Steve.

Hi,
I tried to install the essbase driver adapter on ODI, but I can't connect to Essbase using topology manager. Anyone know about essbase drivers for ODI. I used ODI 10.1.3.4.
Thanks all.

Do I run VMWare Fusion with bootcamp?

I have a copy of WMWare Fusion and am about to install windows. My question when setting up VMWare Fusion's Virtual Machine... is do i place everything on a bootcamp disc/partition?
I'm installing XP Home Edition (store was out of professional version, just testing websites here).
Does that question even make sense?

Hi,
BootCamp does only allow you make one real Windows partition in which you can install either XP or Vista.
There are some tricks that let you make three partition (one OSX and two for Windows), but it's not an easy task.
See here: http://www.windowsonthemac.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2
With Fusion it is very easy to simply make a second Virtual Machine in which you then can install Vista.
Simply start a new Virtual Machine and install Vista.

Can no longer connect to internet on my iTouch

I have had my iTouch for just over a year and had no problems connecting to the internet at home and elsewhere. I had to purchase a new router recently and now my Touch no longer connects. It finds the network with no problem but when I enter my password it still says "unable to join the network..." It works everywhere else just fine and my laptop at home connects to my wi-fi with no problem as well. I have tried to input my network under "Other networks" with no success either. My settings and password are the same as before but it still won't connect. Has anyone else had this problem and any ideas on how to fix it? I went to the Apple store and they said they had no idea why it no longer connects. Thanks for any help you can send me.

Are you running WEP encryption? Chances are the new router interprets your password in a form that the touch can't deal with. You can either using the hex code in place of the password you created or reset your encryption to WPA2-psk and create a new 10-12 character password.
If you don't want to change encryption, you can reconfigure your WEP passwords - 5 characters only with 48bit or 13 characters only with 128 bit.

AirPort no longer connects to internet but local networking is fine.

I have an Airport Extreme router version 7.6.3. Recently the router has been dropping connections with my cable modem. I have had to reboot the modem and the router to reconnect. It is no longer connecting to the internet at all. All of my wireless devices can find the Airport and connect to my local WiFi network but no internet access. I tried connecting my macbook directly to the cable modem via ethernet cable and had some of the fastest internet connections in recent memory. How do I make the router work?

If you haven't already done so, install 5.6 utility on your Mac..
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.
Roll the firmware version back to 7.6.1 or earlier if it will work.. the latest firmware is not the greatest by a long shot.
Then using 5.6 utility you can access the advanced logs on the Extreme.. you cannot do that with v6 utility.
It should show disconnections happening.
You can also access the WAN ethernet settings and set the Airport to 100mbit full duplex.. this seems to have helped people lately.
Of course nothing like this exists in v6 utility.. being a toy utility.

Ipad no longer connects to internet after using remote app for apple TV

I can use the Remote app on my Ipad to connect to Itunes library through my apple TV but as soon as I do that, I can no longer connect to the internet on my Ipad. The network stays connected on my Ipad but no internet. I have to recycle the router (airport extreme) and power off the Apple TV. Once I do that I can then connect to the internet again. I am using a Mac Pro as my desktop with airport extreme as my router. All software is up to date. Appreciate any thoughts anyone might have. Its a pain to use that litte remote for my Apple TV.

My question: Is it normal for the internet connection to switch from an Apple Network to another network?
No.
You are probably connecting to a neighbor's wireless network. Unplug your base station and see if the network remains.

TS1398 I can no longer connect to my home wireless on my ipad2, have done all the suggested fixes, still cannot connect. Daughter cannot connect her iPod, but husbands laptop is connected to wireless.

All of a sudden my ipad will not connect to our home wireless. I have reset the wireless settings, turned my ipad off and back on, turned off wireless and back on, basically have done all of the fixes suggested and still I cannot connect. My daughter cannot connect her iPod either, but my husbands laptop can and is connected to our wireless. The wireless is working and until two days ago I had no problems connecting.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

IMac will no longer connect to my Airport wireless network

I set up a wireless network at home using Airport Express some time ago, but as of yesterday my iMac will no longer connect to it. The name of the wireless network still appears in the list of visible networks but when I try to connect it just times out. The iMac is only about 12 feet away from the Airport Express access point, and both my MBP and my iPhone are both able to connect as normal without a problem, but the iMac will no longer connect. I have made no changes at all to the network, or the iMac - it just no longer connects. Any help would be much appreciated.
Jason.

If everything else is connecting with no issues, I would go into the wifi setting on the iPad and redo the info there, user, password and anything else related to your wifi at your house.
It is possible whatever he reset may have reset something to default setting which will not allow it to connect. If you need too then verify the wifi setting by comparing it with another device setting that works on your home network.
Good luck
