Will Mountain Lion fix the major Internet Sharing bug in Lion?

Does anyone know if Apple have indicated that they will be issuing a fix to the Internet Sharing bug in Lion (i.e. Internet Sharing does not work) in the new Mountain Lion?

Hmmm. Pete, suggest cease dissing people's problem with VNC in Mt Lion as "doesn't exist here" syndrome. Maybe for you, it's working just fine....for some of us...NOT.
Following several threads on issues with VNC and Lion and the vague hope that Mt Lion would fix the problem, I also upgraded to Mt Lion. Worse.
Prior to Lion, VNC worked every time with any Mac I tried, inside or outside the local network. With Lion, VNC worked correctly until around 10.7.4, then with intermittent connections (requiring restarts on the target Mac in order to connect a second time).
Now, with Mt Lion (target Mac is still on Lion and restarted), I cannot connect externally to the Lion Mac even with it being restarted (and Screen Sharing and Remote Management turned off/on as one thread suggested).
As another thread suggested, I had deleted the iCloud System Pref on both Macs while on Lion (with no effect to VNC).
While I'm sure there's a solution out there, I have yet to find it.
Thanks for any suggestions, but will someone at Apple please address this issue?

  • Add password to Internet Sharing in OSX Lion

    Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read this discussion thread.
    The thread concerns Internet Sharing in OSX Lion.
    Prior to Lion, you were able to add a password, so that for example, if you are sharing the Internet from your Mac to the Ipad, a dialog box would be displayed on your Ipad where you could input the your password. This made both the Internet connection between your Mac and the Ipad secure.
    Is there a way to do this in OSX Lion?
    I realise that there is a password dialog under the Wi-fi option, but this asks for ASCII and HEX password. I have tried to input my previous password in the dialog, but it will not accept it.
    Thank you for your time

    I had the same problem, and I think I have fixed it.  What was happening for me was everything was running just fine until I had to restart my Mac for whatever reason and then my iPad and iPhone both stopped being able to connect to the Internet although they were connected to the shared network I had created.
    To get it working again all I had to do was go into General settings on the iThings and go to reset and select 'Reset Network Settings' (The downside of this, of course, is that it will forget all your other passwords.) and then I was able to reconnect. 
    I also discovered in the Keychain Access on the Mac that there were several versions of the Internet Sharing password stored in there from when I had messed about changing the network name and such like, so I deleted all of those and set a new password for the network.
    Hope this is of some use to you.

  • I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens, but I get the error next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions?

    I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens. LR closes on it's own, I reopen it and get that same message next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions? If I click on a different set of photos in the libary before I get that message I might or might not get the message next time it oipens, but I still can not get to those photos, and it is not just one or two but most of my photos. HELP!!!!
    Thanks

    The first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

  • Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit.  Says Lightromm will attempt to fix the problem the next time it launches, but on every re-launch I get the same message.  Any clue as to how to fix this problem?

    I recently updated my HP laptop's OS from WIndows8 to WIndows8.1.  When I went attempted to open Lightroom5 I got the following message:
    "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. "
    "Lightroom will attempt to fix the problem the next time it launches"
    Every time I relaunch I  get the same message.  I'd like to understand what might be causing the problem so I can remedy and get back to my photo editing. Any clue as to how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

  • HT201317 MY ICLOUD STOPPED WORKING ON MY LAPTOP. MESSAGE SAYS IT HAS STOPPED WORKING AND MICROSOFT WILL TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

    icloud has worked perfectly. now a message comes up saying" it has stopped working and microsoft will attempt to fix the problem". I have signed out and signed back in. restarted the computer. no luck. Any ideas?

    First thing I would try would be to remove the battery from your MacBook, connect the computer to it's power adapter and start up, then see if the keyboard and trackpad work normally. Some older batteries have been known to expand and interfere with keyboard and trackpad. If this works, replace the battery.
    Best of luck.

  • If I have my iMac internet sharing turned on, the Airport Utility won't recognize the Airport Express I want to use to stream iTunes to my stereo.  When I turn the iMac internet sharing off, the Airport Express appears but calls itself a base station.

    If I have my iMac internet sharing turned on, the Airport Utility won't recognize the Airport Express I want to use to stream iTunes to my stereo.  When I turn the iMac internet sharing off, the Airport Express appears but calls itself a base station.  I just bought the Airport Express and it's not clear how I should set up my System Preferences for Sharing.  Thx

    Yes. Unfortunately the stereo is too far from the wired ethernet connection   My iMac is connected to the internet using an ethernet cable from the DSL modem (plugged into the wall, not wireless).  The Airport Express is plugged into an outlet 25' away from the iMac and connected to my speakers.  I've turned on the iMac Airport wireless Internet Sharing, hoping to stream iTunes to the Express connected to the stereo.  The iMac Airport picks up several neighborhood networks so I know it's working (and I connected my iPhone wifi to it just to check as well).
    When I use Airport Utility to set up the Express, the only time Utility recognizes the Express is when the iMac Airport is off.  When I turn on the iMac Airport, the Airport Utility immediately loses the Express and asks to rescan.
    Maybe that explains my problem better.

  • I have the following problem: Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. Lightroom will attempts to fix the problem the next time it launches.

    I launch and relaunch and the same message appears over and over.
    Should I uninstall and then re-install Lightroom? Would this fix the problem?

    Thanks Jim.
    I will give it a try.
    My "Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata" folder is 12.3 GB in size, so the rebuild will take lots of time...right?

  • Has Lion fixed the "no artwork found" in iTunes screensaver?

    Has anyone determined if Lion has fixed the problem experienced by many when they try to use the iTunes screensaver and get the message "no artwork found"? Trying to determine if I should quickly upgrade some family member computers to Lion that experience this unfortunate problem - and they used to LOVE the screensaver.

    some people might not be reading your topic, as it's showing as "answered".
    What is your direct link? I'll try the search myself - see if I can suggest anything ...

  • Will Firefox ever fix the page display they broke w/ version22 or should I just uninstall and use another browser?

    Pages display is too large for the screen. They blame me for the dpi setting on my pc, yet resetting to the default setting does not fix the problem.

    As I understand it, the philosophy behind the changes in Firefox 22 were to apply your Windows text size of 150% to web pages, on the theory that you probably would want that. This doesn't work for everyone.
    If the user interface text is a good size, then try this extension to adjust the page zoom level. You can still fine-tune zoom on pages using Ctrl+ and Ctrl- but this will reduce the numbers of sites you need to adjust.
    [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level]
    To counteract the change, here are examples of some settings to try:
    * Windows text size 125% => set default zoom level to 80%
    * Windows text size 150% => set default zoom level to 67%
    Can you find a setting that looks good to you?
    Note: If you already have the NoSquint extension, use its global zoom level instead of adding a new add-on.

  • Will Apple ever fix the 12/31/200 date RSS Visualizer Screen Saver issue?

    I had to reopen the discussion about the RSS Visualizer:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6474304
    I realize Apple may think the rest of the world (ex. CNN, Digg, etc..) needs to change their RSS feeds, but why not fix the RSS screensaver so that it doesn't default to December 31, 2000 and show only 4 news stories for most feeds? Even most of Apples RSS feeds don't comply. And this is by design?

    Better is to send bug reports and enhancement requests to Apple via its Bug Reporter system. To do the latter, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

  • Did 10.6.2 really fix the major bugs?

    Specifically the guest account bug and the 4 finger expose bug. I switched back to Leopard for a few weeks because I wasn't going to put up with that crap and since I have a few days off I might upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    So is it for real?

    I am using ColorEyes Display Pro (software) and the X-Rite i1 Display 2 (hardware) to calibrate my monitors. I have delayed upgrading to Snow Leopard precisely because of reports here and in other forums visited by professional photographers that color profiling is broken in Snow Leopard. The first reactions to 10.6.2 indicate that it still is. I seriously doubt that all these reports come from people who have fallen victims to optical illusions. Their argument is not that they don't like the colors, but that they are not as accurate as they were after calibration in Leopard.
    Yes, the most aggravating aspect of this and many other problems is Apple's silence. Yes, I understand that Apple -- at least officially -- does not visit these forums. But even my bug reports to Apple have never received a reply.

  • Does iOS 8 fix the wifi 'grayed out' bug in iPhone 4S?

    Hi.
    I have an iPhone 4S which is running iOS 7.1.2 . Apparently, the wifi was working before upgrading to ios 7.1.2 (from ios 6.1.3). The wifi option is 'Grayed out" in the Settings app and my Mac address is seen as 'N/A' . There are so many 'fixes' for it two of which are temporary (freezer fix and blow dryer fix) It's a really big inconvenience to not have a wifi connection especially when downloading some big files. For those who have used iOS 8 on their iphone 4S (developers et al) does the new and improved iOS version fix this bug? It's nerve racking because I dont know how to save SHSH blobs meaning I cant downgrade from iOS 7.1.2 to iOS 6.1.3 just to get my wifi working. My best bet right now is that iOS 8 will have a fix for this problem. Buying another iPhone is not an option for me right now as my cash is tied up in some projects. Please help.

    Ok guys,
    I don't know if these helps but I'm going to describe what happened to me with these, first I must say I have an iphone 4S which when bought, the wifi was working fine. The Wifi grayed issue started happening right after I updated IOS version 7.1.1 to 7.1.2. At first I noticed the phone was becoming slow as **** and that my phone won't connect to any Wifis, so I switched my wifi off and my phone became fast again. If I happened to turn the wifi on again my iphone would just become slow again.
    I went an try to look up the issue solution on internet forums and apple support page but noone seems to have definitive solution. Now I read the hairdryer and freezer method, but I don't trust it since, as apple points out, might lead to hardware damage but it kinda make sense to me that something might be wrong with the wifi chip. I read in another forum that if I just erase or restore (I can't quite remember right now the right name) the network configuration it might solve the problem, but it seems it doesn't work either.
    I ran out of options and just waited for IOS 8 to come out and correct the problem, but it didn't. So I came to the conclusion that this is in no way, a hardware problem unless update 7.1.2 just damage hundreds or perhaps thousands of iphone 4S, which I think is rubbish. This is without a question a software issue, might be some software incompatibility with the iphone 4s wifi chip.
    So to summarize all of these, what happened to me was:
    1) iphone 4S is version 7.1.1 - WiFi works OK
    2) Iphone 4S updates to version 7.1.2 - Wifi no longer works
    3) Iphone 4S updates to version 8.0 - Wifi still doesn't work
    I tried the following to solve the issue:
    1) Reboot the device - Fail
    2) Restore Network configuration - Fail (grayes out the wifi)
    3) Update to IOS 8.0 - Fail
    4) Turn on Airplane mode and after 20 seconds off - (ungrayes the wifi but still cannot connect to any wifi)
    What I am currently experiencing with IOS 8.0 (it happened also with 7.1.2)
    1) Trying to open "Settings" if wifi is on - it is slow 70% of the time
    2) Trying to open "Settings" if wifi is off - Opens up normally
    3) Trying to open "Settings>Wifi" if wifi is on - opens awfully slow and no wifi is listed
    4) Trying to open "Settings>Wifi" if wifi is off - opens up normally
    I hope these helps you apple guys, please fix this issue as my iphone is spending my data plan since I cannot longer use WiFi.
