Wireless internet access works on one Mac, but not another

I have a Time Capsule connected via Ethernet to a Linksys ADSL2 gateway.
I have set up a wireless network on the TC, which both Macs (MBP and MB) can see and log on to.
The MacBook can get an internet connection wirelessly, the MBP can't.
The MBP does get an internet connection if connected to the TC via an ethernet cable
I have the connection assistant, but it get as far as asking for my airport password before giving up - I have entered the password correctly.
Any suggestions?
The MBP is running 10.5, the MB 10.4

I have fixed the problem with a reinstall of OS X. Before that, i had tried trashing the keychain, repairing it an also deleting the wireless networks plist. No luck.
Anyway, all OK now...

Implicit read with assembly module instance working on one computer, but not another

Hi,
I'm trying to set up an on-site computer to run a VI which uses assembly instances for data communication, but for some reason I'm unable to establish a connection to the PLC.
I'm running the example vi "CreateAssemblyInstance.vi" to try and get the communication set up before I start using my actual program.
When I run this code on my development machine, I'm able to establish a connection to the PLC and read data. I then go into RSLogix 5000 and change the IP address to the on-site machine and try to run the test VI there, but I'm unable to make a connection. LabVIEW-side, the program thinks that it's established a connection and is reading/writing data, but PLC-side I'm getting a "Connection Failed" message in RSLogix.
I find it weird that LabVIEW thinks the connection was established just fine, which the RSLogix says it can't connect to the VI.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen. We aren't sure why the same VI runs on one machine but not another. We used RSLogix to change the IP address of the target machine, so we don't think that's the issue. And both computers are on the same network, so we don't think it's a firewall issue either.
LabVIEW-side, things should be identical. I'm running the same example VI that came with the Ethernet/IP module. PLC-side, we're changing the target IP of the module within RSLogix 5000 (and we're sending the updated information to the PLC) to match the machine we're trying to make a connection with. Are we missing any steps? This is the first time we've tried using an assembly module, so we're having a hard time troubleshooting.
Any ideas on why this is happening?

I'm pretty sure we're using a generic ethernet module:
I can communicate explicitly with the problem computer, it's able to use 'Tag Read' and 'Tag Write' to communicate with the PLC.
We started having another problem just recently too. The Tag Read and Write commands are almost always timing out. I keep getting the error message -251723752:
Detailed error info: Error -251723752 occurred at EthernetIP Tag Read REAL.vi;Details: The request response was not received in the requested timeout period Possible reason(s): Ethernet/IP Industrial Protocol: (Hex 0xF0FF0018) The request response was not received in the requested timeout period
I can't figure out what's causing this all of a sudden, could these issues be related?

Home sharing works with one account but not another?

My family has an apple tv, we've been having problems setting up the home sharing and tried everything. We eventually decided to try my brother's apple id instead of my mother's and it worked. So my question is; why does home sharing not work with one id but works with the other? any suggestions to get it to work with my mother's id?

Try resetting the Apple TV. enter your mother's ID again. Then remove her ID on iTunes and re-add it. Then see if it works this time.

Can see ATV on one Mac, but not another in a network..

Linksys 4 port router, Wap54G wireless, Mac Pro 10.4.9 wired to the router, MacBook Pro Wireless, ATV connected via wireless, 10.4.9
MacPro Itunes 7.1.1 (5) will not show the ATV period in devices. I go to my macbook pro, fire up ITunes 7.1.1 (5), connect via wireless, ATV shows up ready to be configured.
Both machines: firewall not on, check for appletv checked in both ITunes. ITunes on MacBook is "virgin", eg not associated with an ipod, just 4 little things in the library and not an authorized computer. MacPro libary well used, photos, audiobooks, videos, podcasts, purchased music, etc, eg a normal itunes world, authorized machine.
No internet sharing on either machine. MacPro has Windows sharing turned on. Other difference is that one is connecting to the net via wireless (Macbook PRO), the other one is wired, but just doesn't feel like this is the issue, but am stuck chasing it further. Ideas?

Hi Techweenie,
Okay if the Mac Pro cannot see the Apple TV, and it is not listed in the sources menu of the Apple TV. You might try going to the sharing preferences on the Mac Pro and turn on internet sharing from the one ethernet port to the other, and then plug an ethernet cable into the Apple TV. The Apple TV should show in iTunes (assuming we have iTunes 7.1.1 in stalled). If it works and the firewalls are not on in the Mac Pro, then I would say it must be being blocked by the router.
If you do have both computers listed in the sources of the Apple TV, then it would seem that the MacBook Pro is synced and the Mac Pro is set for streaming.

John

Syncing iPhone with one Mac but not another

I have a home Mac and a work Mac.
I want the iPhone 3GS to sync with my home Mac, and it does so perfectly.
Sometimes I'm at work and I need to charge the phone, so I plug it into the work Mac, and it launches iTunes and attempts to sync with it (which, if I let it continue, would erase all my loaded stuff). I always stop it manually.
I see the option in iTunes checked for "Always sync the iPhone to this Mac" (or something like that). If I uncheck it, it fixes this, but next time I go home, the iPhone doesn't sync with the home phone because this option unchecks itself at home too!
So how do I make sure it syncs to the home Mac, but does not erase itself when plugged into the work Mac?

From the user guide, page 16, http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
You may want to prevent iPhone from syncing automatically when you connect iPhone to a computer other than the one you usually sync with.
1. Turn off automatic syncing for iPhone: Connect iPhone to your computer. In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar, then click the Summary tab. Deselect “Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected.” You can always sync by clicking the Sync button.
2. Prevent automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods: In iTunes choose iTunes > Preferences (on a Mac) or Edit > Preferences (on a PC), click Devices, and select “Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods. If this checkbox is selected, iPhone won’t sync automatically, even if “Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected” is selected in the Summary pane.
3. Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes. Then, as you connect iPhone to your computer, press and hold Command-Option (on a Mac) or Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar."
I use option 3 without any problems.

Flash not working for one user, but not another on this CPU

Hi,
For user A on my computer most video will play in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. But video at nfl.com will not play. The ads will play but not the actual feature.
I just found out that the videos on nfl.com will work for user B. I have rerun the Adobe Flash 10.1 installer in user A's account several times with no luck.
Are there permissions or libraries I should trash to try to restore this capability?
thanks,
Steve

HI,
For user A on my computer
Try uninstalling the current copy of Flash, reinstall new, then repair permissions.
Uninstall Flash
Install the most recent version of Flash here.
Now repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
You may also need to delete the Flash cache. Instructions here.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11672709&#11672709
If that doesn't help, install the v10.6.4 Combo Update It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.4.

Downloading a file via a procedure works in one app but not another

Obviously I've overlooked something. I have this procedure (following). It works in one application that has been running for a couple years. It is called from Column Link with this value #OWNER#.DOWNLOAD_ATTACHED_FILES?p_file=#DOWNLOAD_LINK#
I'm now making a new application and want the same facility but this same procedure gives me a page not found error even though the error page URL looks like: .../apex/GMCTRL.DOWNLOAD_ATTACHED_FILES?p_file=42 which seems to me that it should work correctly. (the row with the value 42 does exist in the DB)
Is there a setting/flag/thing that I have to set to make this work in my new application that I've overlooked? (both are APEX 3.1.1 and oracle 11g)

Safari works for one user but not another on same computer

MacBook with multiple user accounts. Safari (and Firefox) work fine for one user but are unable to open web pages when the other user is logged in. The error in Safar is "Safari can't open the page "http://xxxxxxxxx/" because it could not connect to the server "/xxxxxxx/" . DNS is working for this user. I am able to ping any number of sites from Terminal. Network Preference pane is configured to not require any proxy. This is a case of it was working but now it's not.
Can anybody help with this? I know I can fix this by simply creating another user and transfering the affected user's data to the new account but I would rather not. TIA

HI Bob,
You can test your settings by clicking the big "Test My DNS" button at <https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/dnsentropy>. If you see "Poor" on any of the tests, don't use that domain name server! Remove it from Apple Menu => System Preferences =>Network =>DNS Servers or similar location in your router if you've got a 'home network'. If all you have is "poor" DNS servers in your list, call your ISP and insist that they give you the address of a name server which is protected against the recently exposed DNS cache-poisoning threat.
Also, open System Preferences/Network. Click the DNS tab. Add these numbers in the DNS Servers box.

Identical actionscript works in one frame but not another...?

Hi all,
I'm working on this electronic sheep creator for my Masters
degree (don't ask haha..) which is online at
[url]www.aegreen.co.uk/creativetech/[/url] . The problem I'm having
is that a piece of actionscript I'm using for saving the sheep as a
jpg using BitmapData works in one frame with one movie clip but not
in another frame..
In frame 1 I create two movie clips - mc_modifysheep and
mc_dna:
[CODE]on(release) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_modifysheep", 1)
mc_modifysheep._x = 150;
mc_modifysheep._y = 70;
mc_modifysheep.attachMovie("sheep_body", "body", 1, {_x:42,
_y:65});
mc_modifysheep.attachMovie("sheep_head", "head", 2, {_x:0,
_y:0});
mc_modifysheep.attachMovie("sheep_legs", "legs", 3, {_x:77,
_y:215});
_global.bodycolour = "default";
_global.headcolour = "default";
_global.legscolour = "default";
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_dna", 2)
mc_dna._x = 0;
mc_dna._y = 0;
mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_DNA_empty", "DNA empty", 1, {_x:8,
_y:360});
mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_dna_default_default_top", "top", 2,
{_x:45, _y:374});
mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_dna_default_default_right", "right",
3, {_x:65, _y:400});
mc_dna.attachMovie("mc_dna_default_default_left", "left", 4,
{_x:32, _y:401});
gotoandstop(2);
}[/CODE]
the sheep in 'mc_modifysheep' and the dna in 'mc_dna' are
built up over frames 2 and 3 and then in frame 4 the user decides
whether the sheep is given freedom or captivity. If freedom is
chosen then the user is prompted to name their sheep and the movie
clip mc_modifysheep is saved as a jpg on the server using
BitmapData and PHP. If captivity is chosen then the user is
prompted to name the dna and the movie clip mc_dna is meant to be
saved as a jpg on the server but only a white blank jpg is
produced, not what is contained in mc_dna.. I've tried all sorts
but I can't figure out why it's doing this..
Here's the code I'm using, that works, to save the
mc_modifysheep:
[CODE]import flash.display.BitmapData;
btn_freedom.onPress = function() {
freedom();
function freedom() {
snap_sheep = new BitmapData(305, 290);
snap_sheep.draw(mc_modifysheep);
var pixels:Array = new Array();
var w:Number = snap_sheep.width;
var h:Number = snap_sheep.height;
var a:Number = 0;
var sn:String = txt_Freedom.text;
high = 99999;
low = 00000;
ran =
Math.floor(Math.random()*(Number(high)+1-Number(low)))+Number(low);
var rn:Number = ran
var filename:String = dn+sn;
for (var a = 0; a <= w; a++) {
for (var b = 0; b <= h; b++) {
var tmp = snap_sheep.getPixel(a, b).toString(16);
pixels.push(tmp);
var freedomoutput:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
freedomoutput.img = pixels.toString();
freedomoutput.height = h;
freedomoutput.width = w;
freedomoutput.filename_sheep = filename;
freedomoutput.send("save_sheep.php", "_self", "POST");
stop();[/CODE]
and here's the near identical code apart from different
variable/movieclip names I'm using to try and save (but failing)
mc_dna:
[CODE]import flash.display.BitmapData;
btn_capt.onPress = function() {
capt();
function capt() {
snap_dna = new BitmapData(305, 290);
snap_dna.draw(mc_dna);
var pixels:Array = new Array();
var w:Number = snap_dna.width;
var h:Number = snap_dna.height;
var a:Number = 0;
var dn:String = txt_Capt.text;
high = 99999;
low = 00000;
ran =
Math.floor(Math.random()*(Number(high)+1-Number(low)))+Number(low);
var rn:Number = ran
var filename:String = dn+rn;
for (var a = 0; a <= w; a++) {
for (var b = 0; b <= h; b++) {
var tmp = snap_dna.getPixel(a, b).toString(16);
pixels.push(tmp);
var captoutput:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
captoutput.img = pixels.toString();
captoutput.height = h;
captoutput.width = w;
captoutput.filename_dna = filename;
captoutput.send("save_dna.php", "_self", "POST");
stop();[/CODE]
I know it's a problem with the flash and not the PHP as I've
tested for that, definately in the flash. I just don't understand
how the same code can capture mc_modifysheep, but not mc_dna.
argh!!!
If you need to take a look at the FLA file it's up at
[url]www.aegreen.co.uk/creativetech/dohumansdream.fla[/url]
Thanks everyone!!

If you dont find anything specific, a lot of the problems i
encounter like this are because one little thing is spelled wrong.
like it doesnt match whats in your php file, ect. my suggestion,
though a long one, if you know its supposed to work, and theres no
syntax error, re type it, not copy and paste, and just be careful.
keep tripple checking. you might not even find what was spelled
wrong, but it might fix the situation,

Script works for one frame but not another

I set up 2 keyframes, each one loads a different text file
into a dynamic text box. The text box for the first keyframe is
named "session" and the text box for the second keyframe is named
"oneptq". The text file for the first text box is named Titles.txt
and the text file for the second keyframe is 100Q.txt. The code I'm
using is identical (except for the respective names of the text
boxes and text files) but for some reason the text will load in the
first text box but not the second.
Here's my AS for the first keyframe:
lvLoader = new LoadVars();
lvLoader.onLoad = function(success)
if(success)
session.text = lvLoader.textbody;
lvLoader.load("Titles.txt");
And my AS for the second keyframe:
lvLoader = new LoadVars();
lvLoader.onLoad = function(success)
if(success)
oneptq.text = lvLoader.textbody;
lvLoader.load("100Q.txt");
I can't figure this thing out. Please help. Thanks.

Have you double checked that it's a DYNAMIC text box? Maybe
it was accidentally swapped by to static at some point...

WDTHEMEROOT works in one client but not another

I'm looking at using the WDTHEMEROOT application parameter to set a theme. I've set it to 'sap-chrome' in our development client and that works fine when I test the application. When I log into another client on the same system, however, the WDTHEMEROOT parameter has no effect. I'm guessing there is a setting in the first client but not in the second but I don't know what that might be. Any ideas ?
thanks,
Malcolm.

Well,
I guess my excitement was shortlived. I changed the theme and did whatever the note suggested. It worked!
But then I changed it back to 'sap_chrome' and did all that the note suggested - it did not work. I am now stuck with the new incomplete theme and am not able to change it back to what it was earlier.
Any Help?
Thanks,
Sanjiv

Apps work in one location but not another

Some apps (iheartradio and tvguide) work fine from my home wifi, but not in another wifi area (at work, which has better wifi). Other apps such as pandora work fine at both locations. What is the difference and how can I get all apps to work everywhere?

It's entirely possible that your employer has blocked certain ports on the corporate firewall, which will prevent some apps from working.

Spotlight on menu bar working on one mac but not on other...

On my father's Mac mini, I can put a file in his home folder and Spotlight on the menu bar will find it. This is not the case for my iBook however, as I have to either re-index my whole drive or search within my home folder using Finder to find my file. I can, however, find any other file outside my drive using the blue icon.
What have I done wrong?
Regards,
Adam

I've fixed it now. I realised that I had changed my home folder so Spotlight got confused. I changed the path in the NetInfo manager and everything's fine, for now...

Adam

IPod recognized by one Mac but not another

I have a fourth-generation iPod. My home computer, which has stopped recognizing my iPod, is a PowerPC G4 running 10.4.11. My work computer, which does recognize the iPod, is a 20-inch iMac (whose specs I don't recall). All software is up to date on both Macs, and I've tried resetting my iPod as well as putting it into Disk Mode to try to fix the problem at home. No dice.
The only thing I can think of that might have affected it is my recent problem with my home Mac's sleep function -- that being, simply, that my Mac doesn't go to sleep when I select it from the pull-down menu.
Could I have affected the iPod by putting my Mac to sleep while it was attached? I've done it many times before without any problems. Or, is there an improper way to wake up the Mac while it is sleeping? Could the iPod be thinking that my Mac is still asleep?
I've also noticed that my home Mac takes longer to boot up and shut down since these problems (iPod, sleep function) developed.
But, again, the iPod works fine with my work Mac.
Needless to say, I am flummoxed. Thanks much for any insight!

Do you use FireWire or USB to connect the iPod?
If USB, try disconnecting ALL of your peripheral devices including any hubs, except for a standard keyboard and mouse. Try the iPod connected directly to the Mac's USB port. Be sure to try more than one port.
If FireWire, make sure it is connected directly to the Mac's port instead of daisy chained to an external drive or connected to a FireWire hub. Try it on more than one port, since it is possible the port has become faulty. If you have another FireWire device, use it to make sure the port is OK.
If the Mac itself is running oddly, you need to start up from your Mac OS X installation disc (for the OS version you are using), and run Disk Utility from Installer's menu. Then run +Repair Disk+. If that completes with no errors or errors that are repaired, restart normally. Then run Disk Utility and use +Repair Disk Permissions+. Hopefully, those actions will fix the Mac.

Why does iPhoto 8.1.2 work on one iMac but not another when both are the same spec both running Mavericks 10.9.1?

I have a studio of 7 iMacs all running Mavericks 10.9.1, six of the machines are able to open iPhoto 8.2.1 but for some reason after updating the seventh, iPhoto vanished completely from that machine. I reinstalled it from a copy I had saved on a HDD but it now says it's unsupported with this version of OSX. I don't want to pay the £10 + for a piece of software that is only being used to import photos from the occasional iPhone so wont be installing the new version, especially as I know 8.2.1 does work on Mavericks.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Reinstall v8 from the install disk as, at a guess, the version of the HDD is missing components.
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.
