What is (en1) adapter and why am I not showing airport connection?

Ok, so I'm in the network preference pane looking at three possibilities.
1) Ethernet adapter (en1) which shows an IP and tells me I'm connected to the internet.
2) Airport which is connected to my home network but does not have an IP and "cannot connect to the Internet"
3) VPN (L2TP) which is configured but not connected.
So, back to my original question. As I am obviously connected to the Linksys wireless router through the airport card, what is this en1 and why does it tell me I'm connected through it instead of the airport?

I was (am) definitely connected. Just was a little confused as to why the Airport pane didn't show connectivity. I ended up going to sysprefs, choosing "Show: Network Port Configurations", and dragging the Airport to the top of the list. (It did show BOTH Airport and en0 network adapter as choices). After dragging Airport to the top of the list, the Airport TCP/IP pane showed the connectivity I expected to see in the first place. Really not an issue as I was always connected anyways, just not what I was used to seeing.

  • Every time i try to download a pdf program an apple script comes up and the download does not go through what is the problem and why can i not download?

    I try downloading games and things but every time i do apple script comes up with an encrypted file. It has done this sense i bought this lap top. Please help me.

    Okay, can you reply letting me know if the computer was purchased used?, this will help as it would identify the possibility that the prior owner did indeed create some sort of block.
    Next, what you are speaking about blocks in regards to downloading 'PDF software'...is it PDF 'software' or PDF files that are blocked?, it appears that maybe it's the PDF files which are blocked at which case it indeed my be programmed into the system.
    Please answer these and we can further assist you in reaching an answer. As for this list you have provided, I would need more than simple bullets....if you can provide the location of these 'bullets' and file extension...that would get the ball rolling.
    Thanks

  • What Is Memeo Backup and why is it on my MacBook Pro w/ Snow Leopard?

    What Is Memeo Backup and why is it on my MacBook Pro w/ Snow Leopard?  Does it slow down my Mac? Seems like someting has slowed down my Downloads, Updates, Backups, etc. & I don't know how to locate the source or how to fix. Any Wizards avail to share some Wisdom? I am using Ethernet Cable/Port for Internet Connection, I Use a Seagate  FreeAgent Go Flex Ultra-Portable Drive w/ Seagate's Firewire Adapter Cable.

    If this is really Memeo Backup and you want to get rid of it for a better backup program like Carbon Copy Cloner the the following shows all the stuff that Memeo Backup installer installs (based on Memeo Backup 2.5.141 which I found with a google search and downloaded):
    The primary file to disable Memeo Backup would be that file in LaunchDaemons.  Remove it and reboot and the rest is just taking up disk space. 

  • What are smart mailboxes and why do i need both smart and "normal" ones?

    What are smart mailboxes and why do I need both smart and "normal" mailboxes?

    Hi Kingoftypos,
    Thanks for that clarification. So, now it appears that the ultimate purpose of a Smart Mailbox is to point to all emails that meet the criteria in a single place, so if they are spread among several mailboxes, you will be able to see them all together. Here is an article from Apple that describes it:
    A Smart Mailbox displays in one location messages that are stored in other mailboxes, so you don’t have to move messages between mailboxes. The messages displayed by a Smart Mailbox are based on criteria you define, and are automatically updated to include new messages that match your criteria. For example, you might create a Smart Mailbox that displays all messages found in all mailboxes from a specific sender.
    If you change a message in a Smart Mailbox, such as marking the message as read or unread, or moving or deleting the message, the change is reflected in the mailbox where the message is actually stored.
    So, adam, I would think that, if you had mail going to a lot of different places, and wanted to be able to see a particular set of those in a single place, you would use a smart mailbox. Maybe use the rules to direct your mail to different places to start with, but a smart mailbox to bring a set of common ones all together into a single smart mailbox?
    Maybe you have Rules move your Amazon mail to an Amazon folder and your Apple mail to an Apple folder, but then you have a Smart Mailbox that contains any mail that has the word "Receipt" in the Subject line?
    Just a thought....
    Cheers,

  • What are Layers? And why do I need them?

    WHAT ARE LAYERS? AND WHY DO I NEED THEM?
    Layers are an essential part of Photoshop. With Layers you can separate pictures or design elements from each other, as if they are stacked on pieces of glass. With all elements separate, you can move or change them independent of each other.
    Layers are used for many tasks, including improving your images' color or tone; merging two or more images in one Photoshop file; and creating Web designs and animations.

    KEY CONCEPT: LAYER
    PHOTOSHOP/ LAYERS BASICS - Reference Guide

    After creating the mask and applying adjustment, you can also adjust and change layer mask using selection tools or, the most common way, using brush tools.
    To have a more accurate preview of what are you doing, Alt + click on the layer mask thumbnail to show the mask in the image area.
    At this point, you will have a layer mask on your screen in large view, so it is easy to fine tune it, but you wont see how that affects your image.
    To seean  instant preview how changes on layer mask affects the adjustments, use New Window for (name of your image) from Window > Arrange.

    when I click on a link to complete a form, or a link to take a closer look at a picture, I get a blank screen and it says at the top 'search bookmarks and history', at the bottom it says 'stopped' - what is this problem and why is it happening ?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    AVG reports these sqlite cookies each time firefox starts. they usually belong to tribalfusion or some other tracker. How do I block them in the first place. I thought firefox is a safe browser. Did not have this problem until I upgraded to 3.6.

  • What is 'Backing up' and why does it take so long even if my library is identical to my ipod?

    I've just plugged by ipod touch into the computer to sync it and it keeps telling me the ipod contains stuff that isnt in my library (eventhough my library is identical to the content on the ipod) and that if i dont back up i will lose this stuff, i clicked back up and now it has been backing up for over 2 hours! what is it doing and why is it taking so long?

    TC has to check to see which files need to be backed up. So its going thru the file directory and looking for any changes since the last backup. Do you have a lot of files on your Mac to check? Or are they just a small number but very large. If its the former, then that might be the culprit.

    Hi,
    For maintenance.

    Check your Applications folder. If you don't want the app, just drag it to the Trash.
    IMHO you do not need this utility. Your Mac will do maintenance for you.

  • What is "Directory Service" and why does it "use up 194%" ?

    What is "Directory Service" and why does it "use up 194%" on my istat CPU app monitor?
    Ever since I installed Leopard I've noticed this happening more and more - especially when I install an external hard drive or unplug my ethernet line - this is plainly weird and never happened under Tiger - the temperature shoots up to 84° also - I always to a restart to get rid of it but it's kind of worrying....anybody have any ideas?

    Had this happen myself.
    It does have something to do with Spotlight/searching. Should go away after a while, or so I have heard from other users, 'cause it hasn't stopped driving me and my fan mad yet.
    Am going to have my MacBook index and follow-up on indexing and whatever else it feels is necessary to finally allow me to search in peace over the weekend while locking it away where I can't hear it.
    Hopefully that does the trick.
    If it wasn't for things working better/faster and most things looking better I might actually consider taking Leopard off again ...

  • Query as Web Services!!! What are its uses and why do we need it?

    What are its uses and why do we need it.. if other tools like Dashboard and crystal reports and Webi can connect to universe and create reports and Analytics...

    Hello  Rajsan Madhavarajan  
    Query as a Web Service (QaaWS) is a SAP Business Objects (BOBJ)  client-side tool that allows users to create and publish Web Services that can be made available over the Web.  Once these web services are created and published,  they can be consumed like any other standard Web Service in software applications including Xcelsius and Crystal Reports.   But first we have to understand what exactly is a Web Service.
    Web Service
    A Web Service is a software system that supports  interoperable interaction over a network from one computer or machine to another but is more commonly defined as a client and a server communicating data over the Web using the HTTP Protocol. Using Web Services along with Business Objects allows a live connection of data to be used in applications such as Xcelsius and Crystal Reports through a semantic layer called a Universe.
    Query as a Web Service (QaaWS)
    The two main components in QaaWS are the Client Tool and the Server.  The QaaWS Client Tool gives the end user an easy to use wizard that allows them to create Universe queries and publish them as Web Services.  Once the QaaWS is published, any user can securely access the data that the Web Service contains as long as they have access to that server. Have a look on  image below that shows the information flow to and from the server via the client.
    Advantages to QaaWS:
    Very easy to use and intuitive interface Familiar look and feel for people who have used Web Intelligence
    Leverages existing Business Objects Universes Shares metadata with Web Intelligence, Desktop Intelligence and Crystal Reports
    Maintains Business Objects Enterprise Security
    Allows live data feeds to be incorporated into Xcelsius Dashboards and Crystal Reports
