WRT54G - 2 PC, do I need to clone MAC on both PC or just one?
I got a new Linksys WRT54G router and I've two PC (XP + Linux/Fedora) connected to it:
From XP ipconfig /all
IP 192.168.1.100
Sub 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1
Name Servers (DNS) xx.xx.xxx.90 and xx.xx.xxx.91
When using Auto DHCP, both PC can access the web, however XP can see L/Fedora, but L/Fedora can not see XP
If I set Static on both PC:
XP 192.168.1.100
L/Fedora 192.168.1.2 (wouldn't let me set to 192.168.1.100, it said someone was already using the IP)
Both PC could see each other, however L/Fedora could NOT access web, XP OK.
What did I do wrong? do I need to clone the MAC for both PC or just XP? (I only cloned the XP PC)
Thanks for your help in advance.
first assign static IP's outside the DHCP pool of the router ...ie :- anything other than IP's between 1.100 and 1.149
Second ....are u assigning static DNS entries as well when u assign static IP's ?
cause when nu obtain IP from the DHCP....DNS entries are assigned as well...
also disable all and any firewalls that u have enabled or installed on the winxp PC.

After purchasing a new mac mini, I am selling the mid 2011 server. I am not sure if I need to reinstall Yosemite on both hard drives (I have erased both drives). I assume I need to but I thought I read that I don't and have not been able to find that article again. The manuals available are only for the earlier mac mini server or my year, mid 2011, the "regular" mac mini.
You should NOT install Yosemite on your 2011 model. That model DID NOT come preinstalled with OS X Yosemite. If you do you're using YOUR Apple ID not the buyer's.
Before you sell your 2011 Mac Mini you need to install the original OS that the Mac shipped with. If it came preinstalled with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, you can use Internet Recovery (Command+Option+R) which will boot into Apple's servers and verify the Mac and allow it's preinstalled OS to be reinstalled. Here is a link that should help you prepare it for resale. -
I need help installing mac OS 9.0.4
I got an Imac from ebay
no software whats so ever. I turned it on and the system had an administrator password which I didn't know. It has mac OS 9.2 Installed on it I was told by a freind to buy the OS cd and to boot form it so I ordered mac os 9.0.4 from ebay. The cd says to press and hold the letter C Down in the boothing process but nothing happens. I tried starting without the extensions but that didn't help much the computer is usless if I cant use it. Could somebody please help. and sorry for my spelling.Hi, Yeddie -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
All Mac models have a minimum OS to which they can boot, typically the original OS version that come with them. Many models came with a model-specific version of the OS. This means that an OS 9 Install CD of a too-old version won't work on a machine; and usually an OS 9 Install CD that is a model-specific one, such as one that originally shipped with a machine, won't work on a different model.
The original CDs that shipped with a machine are usually labelled as Software Install (or possibly Software Restore), and usually include the name of the model on the CD. Unfortunately all iMacs are not the same - even if the CD you got is labelled for an iMac, if it was not intended specifically for your model it probably can not be made to work.
The solution is to get a retail OS 9 Install CD of adequate version. The retail OS 9 Install CDs have a white label with a large gold 9 on them, and contain a universal installer - they can boot and install to any Mac model supported by Apple for that OS version.
You haven't given enough information to determine which model iMac you have - there have been many G3 models of iMacs, each with its own minimum OS requirement. However, a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD will work on all of them.
I suggest you look for an obtain a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD. Here's some possible sources -
http://store.yahoo.com/hardcoremac/index.html - Apple Reseller
http://www.applerescue.com/
With regard to the administrator password - that's probably a Multiple Users password. It can be removed fairly easily, provided you have a CD the machine can boot to.
Boot to the CD - it need not be an OS 9 Install CD, just one to which the machine can be booted.
Then open the System Folder on the hard drive, go into the Preferences folder and locate the file named "Multi-User Prefs" - throw away that file, empty the Trash, then restart normally.
Note - do not use a CD which boots to OSX until you know for sure whether the firmware on that machine is current. It is dangerous for early iMacs especially to even attempt to boot the machine to OSX before the firmware has been updated. -
Why do I need to Clone a drive partition...
...if I'm installing a new OS to another one??
I've got Panther--my current, albeit outdated, boot OS--installed on one partition of my Dual G4 (and yes, the limitations of this computer is one reason I'm not on Leopard yet)--and trying to install Tiger onto the 2nd partition (which will hopefully tide me over until I upgrade to a new iMac or Powerbook w/ Leopard). I don't have much experience upgrading to a new OS while one is working, so hopefully the older/current one will act as a backup safeguard if the newer one acts up.
Anyway, I haven't been able to install it yet--for whatever reason, it's not progressing beyond "Verifying Destination Volume," and I can't seem to verify the partition in Disk Utility due to Authentication issues, but that's ANOTHER issue--but unless that directly relates, I can't figure out WHY everyone keeps telling me that I should clone either drive (using Carbon Copy).
I already have all the important PERSONAL files from the current boot partition--and everything on the 2nd partition I'm trying to install to--backed up onto an external.
So why do I need to clone either drive?? Just trying to clarify here...phasmatrope:
I installed the new OS, Tiger, last night (which was actually fairly easy too... although it DIDN'T ask me if I wanted to do a Clean Upgrade, or an Archive & Install, which I'd heard were both options, which DOES worry me somewhat... but I suppose that's another post). It seems to be working fine thus far.
It is hard to tell exactly what installation option was used in your installation, but it you are satisfied that your installation is working as it should, I don't think you need to be concerned about it.
I figure in a few weeks, I may try deleting the clone from my partition (how long I should wait though, and whether or not I'll need to erase the drive entirely
So long as your installation is working well, and all your data that you backed up has been restored, and you are sure you will not be losing anything of value, you may delete the clone/backup...but wait until I respond to another of your questions.
what I'm wondering is: can I copy other material to that drive in the meantime without any problem?? After all, it IS a 300GB drive, and since I'd only cloned the 37 or so GB of my old boot partition there, I should be able to fit the 45 GB that are on the second partition onto there.
I suggest that you partition your 300 GB external HDD so that it can accomodate all your needs.
• Partition your HDD so that one partition is approximately the size of your internal HDD. Then you can clone your new installation to that partition, and make regular backups to that partition.
• You can create a second partition to accomodate the material of the second partition of the drive you clone. Give yourself sufficient room for expansion.
• Create other partitions one possibly just for scratch, saving odds and ends or whatever.
Here is a step-by-step procedure for partitioning:
Formatting, Partitioning Erasing a Hard Disk Drive
Warning! This procedure will destroy all data on your Hard Disk Drive. Be sure you have an up-to-date, tested backup of at least your Users folder and any third party applications you do not want to re-install before attempting this procedure.
Formatting an External HDD
Connect external HDD to computer
Turn on external HDD
Start up computer and log in
Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and launch DU.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) of drive to be partitioned in left side bar.
Select number of partition in pull-down menu above Volume diagram.
(Note 1: One partition is normally preferable for an internal HDD. External HDDs usually have more than one. See Dr. Smoke’s FAQ Backup and Recovery for tips on partitioning external HDD
Note 2: For more partitions than one, after you have selected the number of partitions you can adjust the size of the partition by selecting the top partition and typing in the size; then move down if more adjustments need to be made..)
Type in name in Name field (usually Macintosh HD)
Select Volume Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Click Partition button at bottom of panel.
Select Erase tab
Select the sub-volume (indented) under Manufacturer ID (usually Macintosh HD).
Check to be sure your Volume Name and Volume Format are correct.
Optional: Select on Security Options button (Tiger) Options button (Panther & earlier).
Select Zero all data. (This process will map out bad blocks on your HDD. However, it could take several hours. If you want a quicker method, don't go to Security Options and just click the Erase button.)
Click OK.
Click Erase button
Quit Disk Utility.
Please do post back with further questions or comments.
Cheers

Need to disable "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" with "Clone MAC address?"
Ok -- so I learned from tech support and this forum that the "Clone MAC address" option needs to be enabled when connecting to the Internet via a cable modem. In one of the forum posts (sorry lost track of which one), it said that in addition I need to disable "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" as well -- is this correct? If so what is the effect of this? Linksys documentation is not clear if this is absolutely necessary.
I think the comment is in this thread
http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&message.id=8600Usually resetting you cable modem will allow you to use a router without cloning the MAC address. Reset modem, power down, plug router into the modem, power up the modem, power up the router and you should be good to go. The popular reason that I know of for unchecking "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" is when you plan to use P2P software like Azureus. Your computer becomes pingable and can be seen on the net.

Macbook Pro 10.7.5, need to clone hard drive with two partitions?
I have a Macbook Pro running 10.7.5. I have two partitions on the current 750GB drive and just purchased a Samsung 750GB SSD. I want to do an exact clone to the new drive but am struggling with the fact that I have two partitions on the current drive and seemingly all the advice talks about cloning the Macintosh HD only.
I need to clone both partitions to the new SSD. I can't, don't want to, reinstall anything.
Is there a way to clone the entire drive, not just the boot partition?
Thanks!!!bubsnews wrote:
...Weird as all the word on the internet is how difficult it is to clone the Win installation, am I missing something?...
When cloning difficulties with Win installations are discussed, it's almost always Boot Camp. Virtual Machines are just really big files which can be copied and moved like any other file (though Parallels or VMware Fusion will detect that and ask if you've copied or moved the file and getting the answer right is important). That's just one of the many virtues of virtual machines - easy cloning and duplication.
... All reports show the EVO as the faster of the two drives but I swear the M500 is much faster on my desktop (Win7 Pro) than the EVO was. I mean they both are fast but, as an example, launching DVD Profiler Pro with over 4,000 entries would take the EVO 19 seconds or so, but the M500 does it in about 13 seconds...
That is puzzling because looking at this review for example, the Samsung does come in ahead of the M500 most of the time.
...Do you have any other advice to ensure I'm getting the most out of the SSD and my Macbook, 10.7.5?...
Normally I'd suggest activating TRIM but you've already done that. And while any update would disable TRIM, if you're using TRIM Enabler, that pops up to let you know TRIM needs to be turned on again. But since you've reached the end of the update line with Lion, that only applies if you move to Mountain Lion or Mavericks. However, if you're booting from a different drive to work on the SSD, TRIM needs to be enabled on that drive too. Even if it's a HD, the OS will use TRIM on the SSD you're working on.
The only thing that comes to mind is not to fill the SSD to the brim with files. There are fundamental differences between SSD's and hard disks and for best performance, that needs to be respected. This discussion goes into some detail so you can appreciate what the SSD controller has to do. -
What is the need to clone an object
What is the need to clone an object
give me the scenarios where we use cloneable interfaceIn a very simple statements,
clone method will return the new object with the
SAME SOURCE STATE. Where as
creating an object using "new" will give completely
new object.According to whom? I was under the impression that the state of the object returned by calling close was not defined except from what is returned by the Object class.
As for clone being faster than constructors, it can be. It depends on what the constructor does. For instance, I'm sure its faster to clone an ArrayList than to create a new one by passing the old one into its constructor. Depends on the implementation of the constructor vs. the implementation of the clone.
Again, do not expose clone because its behavior is not defined. Create an interface with a methd on it, and define what that method returns. Then use clone to create your base object to construct the copy to return. -
and need the new iTunes 11.1 to be able to use my iPhone on iTunes but I need the new mac software update OXS 10.6.8, but my mac doesn't need or have an update what should I do! I'm upset :'(
The requirements for iTunes:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.
Which Mac do you have?

I've had MS Office:mac 2011 on my imac for around 18 months now. Outlook has just disappeared and when I find the file and open it it tells me that there is a problem and I may need to re-install it. I've just done this using the installation disc which, then said the installation had been successful.
Outlook is still not working. Can anyone please advise me on what to do next.Remove MS Office 2011 completely (here are instructions) and reinstall it.
It's not a simple or fast process but it is important to follow all of the steps in order to get all the files that Office scatters around. This will not affect your data files, only MS Office and its preferences. -
I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows programs I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit or just install 32 bit? (Going with Win7 as I hate Win8). And I will install Office Pro 2013 64 bit too or 32 bit or is that automatically selected by the underlying OS (I use Word, Excel and Access mainly for a membership database of a local club) ? I am not a power user so would appreciate advice on way to go
Again thank you. If I only use word, excel and access in the Win environment and Mac OS for email and safari for internet do I need anti virus software . Ie my connection to the world is mac only and I use office pro only to ruin the club, newsletters, membership database etc. and of course anything I do there can drag/drop to the mac environ to email. That's my understanding anyway. Next will my existing .pst file copy directly into mac mail or do I have to runs translator as I recall reading something about that ages ago when I started thinking Mac

How do I port my Windows Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files to the MAC? What software is needed on the MAC to use them? Thanks.
You can certainly use iWork, though I hesitate to recommend it to a seasoned Windows user simply because it would add another level of the unfamiliar with which you would have to gain familiarity. The iWork applications are certainly very competent and in most respects both easy to use and surprisingly powerful. They are not 100% compatible however, though that typically manifests itself in document formatting issues rather than anything more significant.
I have never attempted to import emails from a Windows system into MacOS - other than in Outlook connected to an Exchange server, thus not really an issue at all. I doubt that the Mail app in MacOS can import directly, but of course you could always set the account(s) up on the Mac and then forward emails you want to keep from the PC. Not elegant, but it works. Virtually any Windows document or file, whichever application created it, can be opened or converted for use on a Mac, and using both systems on my desk each day I rarely see any issues switching stuff from one machine to the other. You may stumble over one or two issues, but likely not significant.
In switching platforms there will be some inevitable issues, not so much with being able to import your stuff because there's usually a workaround or a utility that can help, but just with getting familiar with the platform and the differences between Windows and MacOS that can obscure their similarities. From time to time the support community here hears from a user who has found the migration very problematic and regrets it, but for the most part the phrase 'I should have done this years ago...' is rather more prevalent! -
