VPN issue on 10.8.5 - is there a way to do a full reset?

Regardless of where I am connected from (various different WIFI networks), I am not getting  a login prompt for all of my VPN connections (all Cisco IPSec). This symptom only started manifesting aftrer I got my maboook back from Apple after a repair (logic board replacement). I can connect to the same VPNs using other devices. This is what system.log shows:
Oct  8 07:49:47 offline.local configd[16]: IPSec connecting to server 67.221.227.68
Oct  8 07:49:47 offline.local configd[16]: IPSec Phase1 starting.
Oct  8 07:49:47 offline.local configd[16]: SCNC: start, triggered by SystemUIServer, type IPSec, status 0
Oct  8 07:49:57 offline.local configd[16]: IPSec disconnecting from server 67.221.227.68
Oct  8 07:49:57 offline.local racoon[537]: IPSec disconnecting from server 67.221.227.68
Oct  8 07:49:57 offline.local configd[16]: VPN Connection:  IPSec Error 7
Oct  8 07:49:58 offline.local racoon[537]: IPSec disconnecting from server 67.221.227.68
I have tried rebooting, creating a new location in networks, creating a new VPN profile, and nothing has worked. I'm hoping to not have to reinstall my full OS.
Thanks,

If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
sudo launchctl list | grep NotificationC | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

  • Is there a way to view Safari full screen in Leopard?

    Is there a way to view Safari full screen in Leopard without auto-hiding the dock? I've already tried searching the forums but could not find much on it or an answer to if it can be done or not. Thanks for any help.

    You can open the Code Inspector Window to have the code completely separate from the Design/Document window. You can also then move the CI window to a separate monitor if you like.
    Window > Code Inspector or F10

  • Is there a way to force a factory reset if I forgot the passcode to an old device?

    I have 4 iphone 5c's and found an old iPhone 4 (not s) that I don't use anymore and wanted to give it to my son to use as a fancy ipod but I have forgotten the passcode for it and haven't synced with my new macbook pro.

All his sisters and brothers have iphones and he feels left out The device in question has been used on my apple account in the past, I just don't know how to get around the passcode thing ...

    Hi bigdaddysouth,
    If you are referring to the Lock Screen passcode, then follow the instructions in this article that best apply to your situation:

  • Is there a way to see the full album names on my iPod Touch?

    When albums have long names, they are cut off. This isn't normally a problem, except if the album is part of a multi-disc set, where the names all begin the same way, as shown in this screen shot of my iPod Touch
    At the end of each album name is a number (I, II, III).
    Is there a way to see full album names on iPod Touch?

    Flip the iPod horizontal and look at the cover flow mode. You will be able to see the complete album name, even if you don't have the artwork.

    "You can restore to Factory Default which should go back to the original system"
    This will not work..
    A restore will always install the latest available software.
    Again, there is NO legit way to go back at all.

  • HT201335 Hi.  I have an apple tv and am able to mirror the image on my ipad to my tv, however it doesn't fill the full screen.  Is there a way to get a full image on my 32" Tv.  Thanks a lot for your help

    HI.I have an apple TV and am able to mirror the image on my ipad onto the screen.  However, it doesn't fill the full 32" screen.  Is there some way to project a bigger image onto the Tv.  Thanks for your help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
    You may wish to try each of the settings in ‘Settings > Audio & Video > Adjust for AirPlay overscan’ for the best setting that suits you.

  • I am unable to update my credit card is there a way to have my account reset

    I am unable to update my credit card is there a way to have my account reset

    Yes there is!
    Despite its flashy features and not being a standard beige box, Apple's iPad is a computer just like a laptop or desktop. And, just like laptops and desktops, sometimes iPad apps freeze, and the iPad gets stuck along with them. To fix this, you need to reset the iPad.
    Begin by pressing the hold and home buttons at the same time. The hold button is the one on the top right corner of the iPad. The home button is the round one at the bottom center of the iPad's front
    Continue to hold these buttons until one of two things happen: either the screen will flash and go dark, or a red slider will appear at the top of the screen
    If the slider appears, you can slide it to the right to turn off the iPad (or tap the cancel button if you change your mind)
    When the iPad's screen goes dark, the iPad is off
    Restart the iPad by holding down the Hold button until the Apple icon appears. Let go of the buttons and the iPad reset will be complete.
    Resetting the iPad shouldn't normally cause you to lose and data or settings.
      These instructions apply to the following iPad

  • Is there any way to download the full iTunes app on my iPad just like the one on my iMac?

    The iTunes app on my iPad will not allow me to create wish lists nor does it have the my alerts or just added features. It is like an abbreviated version of iTunes. Is there any way to get the complete version like the one I have on my iMac?

    No.
    iTunes on the iPad is a store only and iTunes on a Mac is the media player as well as a storgae library for all of your purchased content.
    The preinstalled apps cannot be deleted, redownloaded or updated either. Updates for the preinstalled apps come with the iOS updates.

  • Is there a way to prevent a factory reset on ipad2

    I see a lot of threads from last year, however I was wondering if there was a solution to this problem?  I am an adminisrator for a hospital, and several doctors request ipads.  I am worried about security and if one of the doctors have their ipads stolen that some schmoe can take it home and factory reset it, and keep it, data farm it, or just pawn it off.  If you guys have or know of any options please let me know.

    You cannot prevent someone from stealing one and wiping it clean. Were they to do so then your data would not be compromised. I would not see your concern as being any different than with regard to any of your computers. You can only take whatever precautions are feasible to prevent theft. Using passcodes to prevent access to the device is useful only if the thief isn't an expert computer hacker. There are only so many codes one can make using a 4 digit passcode, but it might be effective against non-technical thieves. Keeping the serial numbers recorded so you can provide to the police would help recovery were the devices pawned.

    Since you already stated that you don't remember the answers (or they are incorrect), you will need to contact applecare to reset them.  Once you have reset them, you can edit the rescue email address.

  • Is there a way to get the full version of photo booth onto my iPad?

  • Is there a way to do a soft reset when the power button does not work?

    After needing to enact my replacement repair warranty, I received a device (smae one and same serial) but the screen had unresponsive spoots, and dim spots, I decided to turn right around and send it back again.  I got a replaced screen again, but this time my power button doesn't work.  Now, this isn't too inconvenient for me except that I cant do a soft reset or power off/on in order to clear the cobwebs from time to time.  Does anyone know of an app, or another way to do this?  I'm simply afraaid of what iddues it may come back with if I send it in a 4th time.
    So, App?
    Or, maybe a special keybaord combo I can put in like on phones? (IE  ##XXXXX#

    To remove the Restrictions passcode, you need to restore the phone as a new device using iTunes. Hit the "Restore" button on the Summary Pane.
