There appears to be a problem with my NAT? I am not sure of the problem exactly, as I never had it with the less complicated modem/router. Essentially it slows down the network considerably meaning that I can not use airtunes as the music keeps stopping and starting and nor can I connect to the internet with the xbox.
View 4 RepliesAfter my macbook hard drive kindly failed on me, I ordered a new Seagate Momentus 5400.5, 320gb hard drive. I popped that sucker in this afternoon and began to start up my macbook with the OS X disc 1. Everything was going smoothly, except that it can't find the hard drive. It is recognized under my disk utility, but when I click to partition it, select options, select GUID, click 'OK', I can neither Name it 'Macintosh HD' or do anything else.
I can't proceed with anything because when it asks me to select a HD, the HD does not show up. Again, everything works except that the hard drive is not found. I pulled the hard drive out. Made sure the screws were alright. Made sure everything was all snuggly, and yet it still won't work.
I have a brand new MBP. I have a 1tb external drive with 250gb's of music. I have it attached to my mac via USB. I CANNOT GET ITUNES TO CREATE A NEW LIBRARY ON THE EXTERNAL DRIVE. I CANNOT DRAG AND DROP OR ADD FILE/FOLDER.
But get this, I hook it up to my old Dell and I can do whatever I want. I am friggin pissed that I spent all this money on Mac equip and can't get it going. You may have seen my other post where I posed my issue of: 1tb ethernet drive hooked to airport extreme. Above mentioned 1tb hooked up to back of it via usb. I am completely unable to copy, move, or add files using my mac. But guess what. my pc handles it easily and quickly.
Restored my HD this AM from a TM backup and am experiencing a lot of problems which include (1) Safari and iPhoto crash upon launch, (2) Mail launches but crashes when I attempt to access an email, (3) I have several "offline images" in my Aperture Library and any attempt to access metadata results in a crash.

Today, I opened up my project and I could not play the project (the red line would move, but no picture would show up in the upper right hand corner box) and ALL of the options in the "share" tab were gray and unable to click them. Many options in the "edit" and "file" tabs were unable to be clicked as well.

not able to download apps on my iphone 4. error message says "unable to down load application" at this time

I'm trying to learn how to create better quality videos.

I am having an issue with an iMac G4 12� laptop. Mac operating system will not load properly, and a whirring and clicking noise occurs internally. Upon turning the computer on, after a pause, the screen indicating the Mac logo appears along with the pinwheel icon- this is then interrupted and the screen turns blue-grey and remains blank, with the pinwheel icon occasionally becoming visible before disappearing again. Internal clicking and whirring occurs throughout this sequence. Operating system never loads and the desktop never appears. This is not due to any handling mishap, i.e. dropping, slamming shut or any other contact damage. Any info or advice would be really helpful.

I did not have this problem until I tried to connect to a University Network, which has WPA2 Enterprise security and the need to create a new user profile in this "802.1X" tab to access the internet (ridiculous, isn't it?).
This is my first post with my new Macbook PRO I just recently received, the reason I am posting this is because the new Macbook PROs are pretty tough I believe.
Every since I got my Macbook I tried my hardest to keep it nice but last night about made me cry when I sat my Macbook PRO on the edge of my bed then my girlfriend 'who is isn't light' came down and sat right on it...
After I saw it under her I went and grabbed it, turn it on, and surprisingly everything still works and operates properly.
I have a MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.5, and I have a problem with the slot sd card.
It always worked properly, but now it doesn't work anymore.
The card doesn't mount on desktop! I don't know why! I also tried another sd card but it doesn't work as well.
I got a powerbook .
1 I was told that it worked but had pixel damage and that when it ran on the battery the screen flickered a bit
2 When I went to pick it up today the guy said that he tried to turn it on to reformatt the HD before I took it but it wouldn't turn on at all.
So what I got is
Powerbook G4 512mb + ?? mb I know there is 2 in there just specs on a sticker on one that I can see
60gb HD
15'' screen
What could the prob be?
What can I do? I tried the reset and PRAM thing ... nothing not sure I did it right though
Logic board
CMOS battery
Ive heard conflicing statments that the raid is software/hardware. anyone know for sure what it is (Im not talking about that card you can buy).
If it is software raid does this take a toll on the processors? is it serious or does it not matter at all.
IF it does matter. should I buy a exteran raid card? is there a mac compatible one. I just need basic raid0.
I just bought 2 samsung spinpoint F1 750s in anticipation of my new mac. But just want to make sure that raid is a wise decision.
for those who are thinking about replying about the dangers of raid. I know. I have time machine. if the raid goes down then so be it. such is life. I will have backups.
My DSL speed hasn't changed in the 1 min it took to download, install, and restart. Safari 3 seems twice as fast as the older version on my MP.

The PC has no trouble ever seeing the Mac.
but the Mac is only able to see the PC when the workgroup name(network name) in windows xp is at it's default, mshome
The problem is the same even when i change the workgroup name in osx under the wins tab in the network settings.
So on my boot drive, there is no option to uncheck the Ignore ownership on this volume because, well, it's not there. I'm running the latest version of OS X. How do I fix this? I've searched around and found similar threads dating back to the Tiger days but nothing that fixed anything for me.

I was thinking I could get around this by installing LogMeIn on my Mac at school and download torrents from there. Then I would log into my computer at home, which is on Verizon FiOS and has no limitations/bans. Would this work and if not are there any other ideas? I have an iPhone 3G so I could tether if worst comes to worst.
View 23 Replies View RelatedI just bought two 2GB Kingston 667MHz DDR2 PC2-5300 SDRAM sticks (KVR667D2S5/2G)
If I try both together they don't work, the computer just don't boot. The screen remains black and the power led on, but nothing else happens (no sound at all).
If I try one of the new sticks with one of the old (original) 512MB sticks, then they work and the OS recognizes 2.5GB.
I am 100% sure the sticks are well installed as I tried both with the old memory and I switched them once at a time to make sure they were installed properly.
According to the Mac's documentation and as far as I've been reading in the forums, it should work fine with 4GB.
I've couldn't find anything in the forums that could help me to solve this problem.

I'm having an issue with my network connection in general (Problem persists on all browsers) Every once in a while, the page doesn't load and I get a message that says "Safari can�t connect to the server.
Safari can�t open the page [URL] because Safari can�t connect to the server [URL] and it's the same with every other page. If I refresh, it usually reloads fine, or reloads partially.
When I couldn't get my printer to work, I turned off my firewall to connect to it, I left my firewall off for a couple days. I found this string of allowed traffic from the same Ip address.

I'm having an odd problem that I can't figure out. I have a fairly new iMac (the aluminum one). It originally had Tiger on it, then Leopard came out 1 week later. I upgraded to Leopard once it came out. I then purchased the Snow Leopard upgrade, and upgraded my iMac to SL.
I've been running SL great on it for several weeks now (since SL was released). I haven't had any issues, except with Time Machine. I wanted to do a verify/repair disk on the HD, so I attempted to boot my iMac from DVD.
It did not boot automatically to DVD, so I attempted a "C" during startup to boot from my DVD. After about 5-10 mins of waiting, it dropped me into "Safe Boot". I can not seem to boot it from the DVD.
I rebooted my iMac, and double clicked the install icon from the DVD. It's giving me the following error:
"Mac OS X 10.6 cannot be installed on this machine"
It's claiming that I need v10.5 or higher to install. I'm currently at 10.6.1, so I'm not sure what it's complaining about.
Has anyone had or seen this issue before? All I'm trying to do, is perform a repair disk on my HD...but I can't even boot from my DVD anymore.
OK I do some Video Editing and Motion Graphics with FCP and Adobe After Effects.
I have a Mac Pro 2009 with 4 1TB Drives and 2 1TB Lacie Fire Wire 800 Drives.
This is the setup i have
1st Drive Mac OSX
2nd Drive is Windows 7 OS
3rd & 4th Striped and Mirrored to the 2 Lacies External Drives that are Striped. (raid 1 + 0)
My first question: is this a bad system? should i set it up a different way?
Second: is If a Drive goes out in the Raid 1+0 how will i know and how can i put a new drive in to fix it? How does this work?
Third: I set the RAID up with disk utility, is this ok, bad or good?
Fourth: IF the the OS Drive goes out will and i replace it and format it, will the RAID 1+0 Still be there? some where i read that its OS dependant?
ive just been looking in system preferences and saw my firewall was off. I immediately turned it on. I don't know why it was off, i have never turned it off before, im really worried now, how can i check for bad things on my mac?

After some super quick advice!
Got in to the studio today to find my main Macpro (Xeon 2007 model) dead.
When I turn it on it powers up, but does not make any noise (No beeps, no startup), does not display anything on the monitor, the hard drive spins up but not long enough to actualy do anything - I think its just the sound of power getting to it.
Iv removed the hard drive, and all ram (apart from a 1GB), and all cables apart from the power and the same thing happens.
