I lock the network preferences panel in the System Preferences, and the 10.7.4 Lion OS unlocks them when the computer restarts or when it is shut down and turned back on. I want to keep them locked. Is there a way to stop Lion from changing your preferences without asking?

I have recently switched my internet service to Knology. I have an iMac (running OS 10.6.8), it has a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of SDRAM. Both I and my wife have noticed that at times (more than it should be happening) when we try to load a webpage, it freezes and will not load or takes a long time to load. I am using Safari 5.1.2. Our modem is a Arris - 76DA cable modem wireless router combo. Is there a setting in the System Preferences or in the modem that needs to be reset? It seems to work without a problem on my wife's Dell laptop.

I have to click on "Network Settings" and manually go through to change all the red dots to green. Like I said, I don't have to update, change, or manually enter anything; just click through the boxes. If it saves all my info, why can't I simply launch Safari from the beginning?

My mother works for a school district which provides laptop computers. They recently rolled over to newer computers and my mother purchased the old one from the school. Most everything works normally, although there are quite a few things(system preference e.t.c..) which require a admin name & password. It has been impossible for me to acquire these from the school and I am looking for a way to override these. I read on a forum to reinstall the hard drive from an operting cd. I have no cds whatsoever with the computer. Would love any suggestions on how to override thise system admin & password problem.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy neighbor has an IMac with OS 10.4.11 installed. When I open System Preferences and select the Network icon, the Network window comes up but it is overlayed with a message that states: "Your network settings have been changed by another application." When I click OK, this same overlaid window comes back.
The only way I can get out of System Preferences at this point is to do a Force Quit. In other words, because this overlaid window appears, I am unable to access the Network window to look at TCP/IP settings, make changes, etc.
Next I went into System/Library/Preference Panes/Network.prefPane(more info) to look at the application that appeared in the "Open with" field. It stated "System Preference." I replaced this with a new "System Preferences from the Applications Folder, but the same thing happened - even after I rebooted the computer.
Please let me know how to solve this problem so I can access the Network System Preferences properly.
Thank you.
I'm trying to prevent my Mac from connecting to any other Network than my own. However, it always grabs the neighbors. How can I specify that I do not want to be on any other one than my own. It does not seem that there is this option in the Network Settings.
View 2 Replies View Relatedwhen I open my Network in System Preferences, "Network settings have been changed by another application" pops up and every time I click Ok, it pops up again, not letting me be able to access any other option in the Network window. The wireless icon has disappeared from my top bar and the only way I have managed to get online is via my ethernet cable. I have had nothing but problems since I started using my O2 Wireless Broadband dongle and I've noticed that behind the "Network settings have been changed by another application" notification, I can seen the Dongle has appeared as a new network connection option... but was never there before today (have been using the dongle for two months now)

Just downloaded Lion, now the Airport wireless router keeps dropping the cable modem settings so I can't access the network, internet or WiFi. I have to repeatedly go back into System Preferences, Network, Assist Me, Network Diagnostics, choose the network port config, select WiFi, select my network and it restores all network settings and says "Internet connection appears to working correctly." This problem apparently happens whenever the computer goes to standby/sleep.

I'm using the Assistant to try to add a USB modem to my network settings. However, the option for "I use a telephone modem to dial my ISP" can't be selected. (please see attached screen grab).

View 1 Replies View RelatedEver since installing Lion, my MBP has been very slow and I cannot make any admin changes. In any event where admin privileges are needed, I hit the padlock on the bottom left of the window. It asks for my password. I enter it and it accepts, but the padlock is still locked. . . My username is listed as "Admin" in the users list. I can't add another user because I cant unlock that privilege. I've verified and repaired disk permissions and verified disk with no errors. The installation of Lion was on a clean Hard drive, not an upgrade. Considering going back to SL at this point.

Is there anyway to have System Preferences create network "profiles" that save more than just the name of the network and the password, but also the "advanced" settings specified by the user. At home, the IP address, subnet mask, etc. need to be entered manually, but everywhere else, I need to use DHCP to connect to networks, which clears my settings. It is getting very annoying having to re-enter these settings every day.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble finding a way to make Safari use a SOCKS proxy without going into Network Settings (permission disabled). I am able to use the Terminal to connect via SSH to my server, but I can't get Safari to use the tunnel instead of the normal connection. Is there a way to do this via Terminal without root access? I would also use Firefox's internal network settings but the ability to mount DMGs is turned off to users by the network admin so I can't even install a portable version of it. Dragging to the Applications folder is also disabled. If there is a way to change Safari's settings via Terminal or a way to run Firefox without installing it, I would be very glad to know.
