I have an imac and use a linksys router to connect to the internet but any time i try to connect the ethernet cable to the imac from the modem i don't get any connection at all. Is there ne way to make this work?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to find out how to communicate direct with modem in order to set SSID, password, and channel .
Info:
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7), iMac generation 8.1
when I get a picture in Ichat and i go to save it, it auto saves into a weird folder with a name like:
26a786fb-a3cd-4b64-8894-4ed1c716e03c
it's a different name each time i save a new pic, however, none of these folders are available in finder, and there's no directory information. Where are these hidden folders hanging out on my mac? How do I get my old pics?
I have an ethernet cable. i have an alu macbook. i have an iMac. i need to transfer files between the two. tried connecting the ethernet cables. on the macbook it says "ethernet cable not plugged in"
on the iMac it says "ethernet cable not plugged in".
i know the ethernet cable works because i brought my macbook up to my router and used the ethernet cable to connect to the internet. it is Cat5 or whatever. i've tried everything static IP addresses. restarting. replugging. over and over and over. no luck. the macs just pretend there is no ethernet cable plugged in. tried DHCP. tried manually. but it works when i connect my macbook to my modem.
i've tried everything. i've googled, i've mroogled. nothing works. i spend two hours trying to work this out myself before coming here. every single webpage online just says "oh just turn on file sharing LOL then it works" not for me it doesn't. i've tried that. i've tried it over and over and over again. it doesn't work for me. still won't recognize.
i'd use wireless connection to transfer but that'd take like 20+ hours to send 60GB+ of data. too long (iMac is not at my house) are ethernet cables just fail? this is a BRAND NEW 20 inch imac and a aluminum macbook from 2008.
I created an access point from a router. My question is if I can get a faster connection to devices near to the access point with the direct connection or will a direct connection not work with an access point?

I have recently had to stop using my wireless router and connect directly from my modem to the WAN port on my computer. However, I can only achieve an internet connection when I direct connect into my PowerBook G4. When I try to connect into my iMac, I get nothing.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was using a Western Digital 1T hard drive connected to my Time Capsule USB port. It was set up as Allow file sharing with Time Capsule password. I would like to stop using it here and directly connect it to my Macbook Pro (by firewire). When I try to do this, I can see the drive but get a message that I do not have user permissions to access it. I can't seem to figure out a way around this. Is there something that I can change so that I can directly access the disk? Do I need to reformat the WD drive in Disk Utility to be able to use it directly again?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy main work station (MacPro) doesn't go online anymore. The connection to router/modem is fine (I can access the router via browser interface, and my iphone as well as my old PowerBook go online without any problem through that same router and modem). First, internet connection was absent after wakeup from sleep mode. After putting the machine back to sleep and waking it thereafter, connection was re-established. Not anymore now.
All of this being the case whether connected via Ethernet or WLAN, as well as after restart.

For the last 3 years I have used a Speed Touch 330 USB Broadband modem supplied by my provider Pipex
Initially only one computer was served - Mac Mini
Since then the following computers have now arrived
2 Powerbooks
1 Ibook
1 Imac
There is now a requirement for wireless connection to the internet
I have acquired an Airport Extreme Wireless Base Station
This has a single WAN port for modem connection
Can the above modem be successfully be connected by some means
I have just started using a G3 B/W Yosemite tower to replace my totally satisfactory Mini Tower on 9.2.2 - forced by IE not working any more.
I had to buy it a MODEM, a genuine Apple internal MODEM in a aluminium box with ribbon cable. I have installed it and it seems to know its there and makes dialling noises - but doesn't actually grab the line first . I need it to dial the phone and for Internet backup, I have broadband Internet connection via an ethernet LAN and router.
I tried using a Teleadapt RJ11 adapter which swops inner pair to outer pair, no luck. I have checked the line with a phone to be sure there is a dial tone, and left the phone off hook while activating the MODEM to check if anything happens, it just runs a continuous dial tone, but the computer is not finding a dial tone. Is there something I don't know to do? Is the RJ11 connection deviant? Or did I get sold a duff MODEM?
For some unknown reason i cant seem to connect to wirelessly to my adsl2 modem. I have tried 2 different modems same result - i can see them but when i connect it immediately says "conection failed" - i can connect successfully via ethernet but not wirelessly. I have a 2009 macbook pro running 10.6 snow leopard.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running 10.6, and I would like to make my computer such that a friend (not on my local network) can directly download a large file from my computer. I would like to set this up in such a way that my friend will only be able to access a single directory (the Shared folder, for instance). Essentially, I want her to be able to download a file from my computer without giving her access to anything else, and without having to give out any sensitive information. I attempted to search, but as I'm not facile with the terminology, I didn't find an answer.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDirect TV On Demand requires an access point for streaming video. The simplest fix is an ethernet cable between my DSL modem and the DVR. This is not practical, as the DSL modem has only one ethernet port, and it is going into my Airport Express. (and it is several rooms away) Direct TV recommends a Cisco WET610n ethernet bridge. My problem is that the Cisco techs say there appears to be compatibility problems between the two. The Apple tech said flat out that the WET610n cannot connect downstream from the Airport Express. He said he did not know if the WET610n could connect to the Airport Extreme, which does have extra ethernet ports. I can return the WET610n. I MAY be able to return the Airport Express and upgrade to the Airport Extreme. Does any know for sure wether or not the WET610n will operate wirelessly with the Airport Extreme, which boasts true 5 ghz 802.11n capability? Does anyone have a known solution? Direct TV has given me some Geek telephone numbers, but I haven't contacted them yet.
