What happened to IOS 8 MAC Address randomisation?

Using an iPhone 5S upgraded to IOS 8, after testing using Kismet and other pen-test tools I have found there is no MAC address randomisation by my device. Is this a feature yet to be released or is my iPhone playing up?

Robert,
Thanks for the reply; that had crossed my mind so I performed a Kismet capture during a 35 mile drive. Lots of probes were captured from my iPhone which was consistently sending out the same MAC address (the one listed under device settings) each time. It should be noted that the captured probes didn't contain any wireless access point SSIDs. This isn't the answer unfortunately.
Once again thanks for the effort.

What happen to " Made 4 Mac?"

Sorry, I don't know where else to post a question like this. I see that the Apple website has been upgraded a bit, but I don't see the smaller menu bar, that used to list the "Made 4 Mac" page that listed 3rd party software and hardware. Maybe they don't want to maintain it, but it seems to have disappeared, with nothing showing up on a search. The downloads page doesn't seem to be quite as complete as the "Made 4 Mac", which typically had anything and everything in 3rd party listed, even stuff that hadn't been developed for awhile.
Anyone know what happened to it, or whether or not Apple has some way of notifying the public about this kind of discontinuation of a service when it happens? Thanks.

Thanks, guys. I did try a few searches, but nothing would show. Wouldn't you agree this should be a useful page that should be easily accessed? Some pages show the "old" submenu, while others have the new, cleaner look. Haven't taken a look at the mac.com page yet, I imagine there is some tweaking to be done.
After owning over 35 Macs for work and home over a 20 year period, I am still in love with the technology but am now loathe to be the first to go 'Beta' or even upgrade the OS for the first 6 months. There are always headaches, I suppose it goes with the territory.

What is my iPad's MAC Address?

My household network only allows known (registered) MAC addresses to transceive through the wireless router. How do I obtain the MAC address for my new iPad so that I can enter it into the router's table of allowed devices? Why wasn't the MAC address displayed prominently in the documentation?

I would imagine (since I don't have one) that it is located in the same area as the iPhone. Go to settings>about>look at the WiFi address. That is the MAC address.

What happened?? My mac turned into a PC

Hi - any insight would be appreciated.
Using my gorgeous computer all day,.. as usual... late last night started to watch a DVD...
Then the problem started... in the middle of loading DVD.... it suddenly froze..I could do nothing.. nothing responded... I closed the lid.. when I opened it the fans started, I could hear other strange sounds... but the screen was completely blank... I then heard some mail come through... but still the screen was completley blank..then battery was charging, I was plugged into the mains.. and then the green lights on the key board lit up.. but nothing on the screen. Then I tried to hold the power button down for about 10 seconds, then the computer closed down.. an anxious night, worrying about my beloved mac and all the info on for a big thing on Monday. This morning, switched it on.. and bam everything is as normal... except that this thing happened, will it happened again. My mac has never frozen, long gone are those PC nightmares ..or are they ??? Any insight, or explanation would be great. Thanks

Hi Jo,
Welcome to Apple discussions! Unfortunately, Macs are not miracle devices. They are manmade pieces of technology and as such, they're not immune to problems like you describe. I have had similar experiences on my Macs at one time or another.
The first thing to try is reloading the same DVD that caused the problem. See if it loads correctly this time. If not, try a different DVD and see if the problem persists.
If everything works fine, I would not worry too much. It's likely the event was a one time thing.

Hi i'm new to mac so i don't know what happened to the iphoto and address book icons that were on the dock!

hello i'm new to mac,i was doing something with the icons on the dock and iphoto and address bookand one other disappered!how can i get them back?

Hello Darwin, & a warm welcome to the forums & Macdom!
It's easy to drag them up off the Dock, open your Applications folder, drag Address Book from the Window to where you want it in the Dock, rinse & repeat.

What happened to the indexing of addresses. It no longer works like it did before

I have for years been able to add addresses to emails by typing usually the first letter of the name. Since the last update I have to type sometimes 3 letters of the name to get the right address to show up. I thought it would improve with use but it hasn't change. Please go back to the old indexing or what ever you had before. If I want Dave, I have to type dav or it brings up Sandy.. Go figure
Thanks

Thanks razmee209,
My Bad, upon further perusal, and putting my glasses on, I too found it again. Sorry for the false alarm.

I need to know what version of iOS my mac from 2008 supports

hello
I am trying to update my iOS, the one I have is snow leopard on my macbook, but I dont know if theres a newer one that may mac can support

Regarding supported iOS device systems and their relationship
to Mac OS X systems, compatibilities, that is another topic of
equal interest if you are seeking to match an older iDevice with
an OS X. There are several different articles & ASC discussions
that cover some of these secondary topics, to some degree.
iOS 6 and above, and Mac OS X 10.5.x
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6021
If you have an older iDevice (iPhone, iPad, etc) product & it gets
an iOS upgrade to a later version, that cannot be downgraded to
an earler version; so that is something to consider should you
have an older device and need to connect it through a newer Mac
than you own, since it may need an iOS upgrade to work with a
the newer computer, yet may not connect to an older vintage one
that you may have at home, vs one at work or school.
So in another perspective, your question has a different meaning.
Perhaps it may help to keep that in mind, w/ Mac OS X upgrade
and how it may relate to an iOS product compatibility. Especially
if you've more than one OS X version you'd use an iDevice with.
This is how, in part, an iOS item can become orphaned to an OS X.
That may be a good thing if your old Mac can't go further ahead.
Good luck & happy computing!

What happens to personal folders and address book from old email when I change to new email

I got a new email address. I am going to quit using the old one, which was was with Comcast When I cancel Comcast service, how can I make sure that I do not lose my personal folders and address book. Also, if I can keep the personal folders, which contain emails with the old Comcast email address, will I be able to read them?
Thank you.

The address book is unaffected.
Comcast is as I recall a pop mail provider. If your using IMAP this is useless to you, so speak up.
If you right click the Comcast account in the folder pane and select settings. Under server setting for the account change the settings to not check for mail. Click the advanced settings and change the check this server to off as well. Doing this stops Thunderbird driving you mad with unable to connect messages for the defunct account.
Go to the outgoing server (SMTP) and delete the Comcast SMTP server. This will prevent you from accidentally replying to old mail and getting an error as the Comcast account is no longer.

What happens to java in mac osx 10.9.5

I'm working on a Macbook pro 2,5 Ghz, OS X 10.9.5
Im trying to run a program that works on java, the problem is that since its last actualisation the program doesn't open and shows the message: "Unable to run Java Runtime Environment".
I tried installing and actualising Java to its latest version on Mac (arguably this one: Version 8 Update 40). When I did so, the package didn't get installed and it showed the message: "trying to install Java 1.8.40.27, however 14.9.0 is already installed".
In the troubleshooting discussion of the software page i'm using (Zettlekasten, see: http://translate.google.de/translate?hl=de&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fzettelkast en.danielluedecke.de%2Fwiki%2Fdoku.php?i…), programers suggest modifying the operative version of java from the Java Control Panel. The problem is that i cannot have access to such panel because i cannot find java in my computer. It is supposed to be in the utility folder located in the Applications folder, but it's not there.
My questions, how can i make Java Runtime Environment run in my mac?
How can i access to Java configuration in my computer if there is no java control panel or similar?
I'd be deeply grateful if somebody could help me... in the meantime i just complain on mac's unilateral decision of considering that there are, from their perspective, some useless plug-ins as they did with Java...

Hmm. I didn't have that problem - maybe the order you install them in matters.
I have Oracle java 8u40 and:
Java for OS X 2014-001
both installed - they coexist because they install in different locations.
A visit to the oracle java web site shows I have 8u40, and in the Terminal I get:
java -version
java version "1.6.0_65"
(so that's JRE6)

What happened to linking a web address to text?

Why can't I link a web address to text or an image in Thunderbird anymore?

Embedding a link in text or an image only works when you are composing messages in HTML format. If plain text is your default, hold Shift when you click Write, Reply or Forward to compose in HTML format.

ICloud family email account? Don't understand what happens to the other email addresses.

After updating my devices to ios5 I was going to move to iCloud. Got message that not all email accounts would forward (I have family plan with multiple email accounts), and I don't really understand what I need to do to get everything moved to iCloud.

You can move the master and sub accounts on a Mobileme Family Plan individually to iCloud: each account needs to move separately, going to http://me.com/move and will become an individual and separate iCloud account. This can be done in any order, but obviously if you move the master account first you can no longer use it to administer the sub-accounts; and if you move a sub-account first you can't create a new sub-account to replace it.
The master account will get the free extension to 20GB until 30 June 2012; the sub-accounts won't.

My IOS 6 update didn't give me Suri what happened?

I just updated my iPod Touch 4th gen to the iOS 6 but Suri (which I thought would be added) didn't get added to my iPod. what happened?

iOS 6- Which software features does my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch support?
Unless you have an iPod Touch 5 there is no Siri.

Unable to import Mac address book

I am unable to import my Mac Address Book into Thunderbird.
In thunderbird, I have gone to tools>import>address book>text file . Address Book is not highlighted, so I am not able to choose it.
I have also tried to export it from Address Book. In Address Book I have also gone to file>export>export Group vCard, and it's the same porblem, Address Book is not highlighted, so I am not able to choose it.
What am I missing? Can someone please help?

I just installed MFFAB 0.7 in a test profile of TB 31.1.1 with no problems, but on Win 7. Perhaps there is an issue installing it on the Mac OS, in which case I would contact the add-on author. Almost all add-ons can be installed on Win, OSX or Linux.
Otherwise, what happens if you open TB Address Book, Tools/Import, select Address Books, then vCard file, then select the .vcf file created from Mail app?

Is there any way to locate an iPad with a MAC Address and a Serial Number?

I happen to know the MAC Address for my recently stolen iPad. Is there any way to use that to locate an IP address the next time it accesses the web?

Not really. Other software would have to be installed on the device to locate it. That's what Find My iPhone is for (and it's free).
File a report with your local police.

IP address Confilct with Mac Address

I have a windows server domain within which I have four mac users, three of them are using the latest version of leopard and all of them are having the same problem. This has happened three times (twice since I have worked here) and I have not seen any real resolution to the problem. The error I get "IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is in use by the following mac address" happens for no apparent reason. I know very well that the IP address is not in use, and whats more is that the mac address that is said to be in conflict bound to the four diffrent IP addresses is the same on all four computers. This does not make any sense, how can diffrent IP addresses be in conflict with a device that is said to use the same mac address.
I have identified that the mac address is given to a trunk port on one of my cisco switches. I know the switch does not conflict with the IP addresses.

is in the same path:
