OS X :: How To Find Linkstation (using IP Address) On MBA

Nov 27, 2010

I have just unpacked my new macbook air and after initially thinking I would put windows 7 on it, have decided to have a bash with the mac operating system first to see if I can get used to it. I have always used pc's so this is a big culture shock. I am 54 years old but consider myself quite techy minded, more so that my technophobe kids who always come to me when they have a problem. However I'm not sure you can teach an old dog new tricks, so to speak. I know it is frowned upon to compare with windows, and, as I said previously, I do not want my mac to be a pc, but might, at some points, refer to windows, so please be patient with me as that is all I know. I am going to trawl through all the guides at the top of the page as I'm sure they will be very informative.

I will be getting office for mac as learning a new OS is enough for me to tackle right now, and my air only has usb, no sd or dvd. I have a Buffalo linkstation with all my files etc., on and want to use it frequently for file transfer. I have downloaded NASnavigator and used 'finder' to look for it. (I am assuming 'finder' is similar to windows explorer, which is where the linkstation shows on my pc.) Should the linkstation show up automatically in the left hand menu, or do I need to click on something? Would it be under 'devices' or 'places'? (It is under neither at the mo.) I have searched and found info suggesting solutions for finding the linkstation using its IP address, but before doing this want to make sure I'm looking in the right place first.

Hardware :: Linkstation NAS Over LAN Connection

Jun 18, 2009

What I had on my iMac back at home was my iMac connecting to the internet through a wireless router. Then I had my Linkstation plugged up through the ethernet port in the back of my iMac and I could access the Share drive perfectly. Three days ago I brought my computer to the campus of Meredith college for a summer academics program. I connected to the internet here, it worked fine. But for some reason my Linkstation will not connect. When I use command k and type in the IP address of the ethernet it tells me "This file server is running on your machine. Please access the volume and files locally." The only trouble is that it does not show up under shared folders in Finder either!

MacBook Air :: How To Connect Buffalo Linkstation And Air

May 3, 2009

I wanted to connect my Buffalo Linkstation to my Macbook Air via the Ethernet cable - as I wanted to do it direct to quickly transfer large files instead of over the network. So, I plugged in the ethernet cable from the Baffalo Linkstation into my Macbook Air using Apple's USB Ethernet Adapter cable. However, my Buffalo share drive is not showing on my desktop, and of course certainly not connecting.

OS X :: Accessing Printer Connected To Buffalo Linkstation?

Jun 29, 2010

However, there is one problem I cannot resolve, I have an HP printer connected to my Buffalo Linkstation Live NAS which works fine on my windows computers but for the life of me I cannot get my Mac to see it. It has a static IP and i've tried putting this into the printer and fax utility with no joy, also connected it directly via usb and installed the correct software and it works fine, but as soon as I try and access it over my network, no joy.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Running A Buffalo Linkstation Successfully On A Network?

Jun 28, 2012

Having upgraded to OSX Lion some time ago, our Buffalo Linkstation had issues. Eventually found some well hidden Buffalo updates and patches and all was working well. Good news as it holds all of our music, photos and shared business documents. In the past coupe of weeks my wife and I have both been getting an increasing number of dialogue boxes appearing saying "Do you want the application NasNavigator2.app to accept incoming network connections?" Despite having allowed all Buffalo/NAS Navigator programmers in the firewall settings this is getting worse.I am currently getting this dialogue box pop up in batches of 5 every 15 seconds..This is making using the computer almost impossible.Having had lots of correspondence with Buffalo and none of their suggestions working, I have pinned it down to the firewall. If I turn it off (risky I know) the problem does not occur and we still have full access to the Linkstation.The issue is obviously with Lion's firewall and from the posts on the internet looks like it has been an issue with previous OSX back to 2010.

OS X :: Where To Find IP Address For USB Wireless Adapter

Feb 21, 2009

When both computers Beige G4 (os 9,2,2) and an eMac (os x Tiger) are connected to the internet with wire cables, there's no problem. I can hook up to the eMac from my Beige G4 (os 9.2.2)using Chooser/Appletalk/and inputing the IP address of the eMac (from Network preferences); which lets me connect.

When I'm hooked up to Internet- wireless with Afterthemac n300 usb internet adapter on eMac, my problem is that I need to have an IP Address of the wireless computer (eMac 750mhz) so that I can connect to it with a G4 Beige Mac os 9.2.2) which I can't find. I get the following in the Network preferences: Configure IPv4: Using DHCP (drop menu); IP Address 192.168.2.11; Subnet Mask 225.225.225.0; Router 192.168.2.1 The optional boxes for DNS Servers and Search Domains are empty.

These numbers were suggested by the Internet provider, which I entered in anticipation and before I received the n300. The router which I rent from the service provider is a SIEMENS GIGASET567. So- is there a way that I can change the numbers from above so that I can connect both computers. I tried the IP 192.168.2.11 but eventually a message comes back telling me it can't find the server. Another reason might be if I would want to hook up to the eMac from another office to get information on that particular computer.

OS X :: Setting Up Internet - Cannot Find IP Address

Apr 16, 2010

I just found an old mac in my room, I think it is a power mac g4, it is running OS X 10.3. I am trying to get it connected to the internet using a cable straight from it to my router (netcomm), the same way i do with my other mac. However, no matter how many different variations i use of my various settings, it wont connect. I have come down to needing a subnet mask, IP address, and router address.

I am almost certain i have the subnet mask and router addie correct, but there seems to be no way for me to find the g4's IP. I have been in system preferences, but all the 'IP' bits are just blank and unclickable. I don't know if it makes a difference, but the G4 was connected to the internet in the past before we upgraded, so it should have an IP somewhere, right?

MacBook :: Cannot Find IP Address For Wireless Network Connection

Jul 6, 2010

I have just bought a macbook, my internet connection at home is wireless however it requires the IP address of each computer using the wireless network to be entered into my wireless account, just an extra security measure. My new macbook has never been connected to the internet as I can not find the IP address I have tried applications/utlities/network utility and there is just a blank space where it says IP address. I have also tried System prefences/network and there is no IP address there either.

OS X Yosemite :: How To Find Address For External CD / DVD Writer In IMac

Dec 7, 2014

How to find address for external cd/dvd writer in my 2008 iMac? The internal dvd/cd writer stopped working years ago. It was less expensive to buy an external writer than have the internal one fixed. Until now I have had no problems with it. 

Now my Toast burner needs the internal address of my external writer and what it is or how to obtain it.

You know one of those long number things like 198.209.3.101 for instance.

Software :: Find And Replace Or Batch Change In Address Book?

Jul 6, 2006

I'm looking to convert a whole slew of telephone numbers in Address Book to make them Skype compliant. There are a variety of find-replace patterns I want to use. One example is an area code in parentheses. For example, I want to change (215) to +1 215. There are thousands of numbers in my address book to change, and manually is not an option. Address Book doesn't have any way to do this on its own. I checked out Automator but it doesn't have many useful Address Book functions. I dug around for a bit online for an AppleScript that would just go straight to editing the AddressBook.data file, but didn't find anything.

I tried to edit the AddressBook.data file myself using TextWrangler, but when I saved it, AddressBook.data's icon changed from a blank file icon to a plain text file icon and Address Book stalled out while opening, necessitating a force quit. So I reverted to my back up and am no closer to solving the problem. Is there a way to do a find-replace or a batch change in Address Book, whetever via AppleScript or otherwise? If not, how can I edit AddressBook.data and save it without it become a text file that Address Book chokes on?

Laptops :: Apple Mail System Address Book Vs The Dock Address Bookk

Nov 21, 2010

Using a G4 IBOOK with OS 10.5.8. Recently converted IBOOK from just my wifes computer to both of us so it is now dual usuage with both of us signing in to our respective files/e-mail, etc. My side has a problem never experienced before. My apple mail system address book has all the names the dock address book does but is missing almost 2/3rd of the actual e-mail addressess. I have tried to redo the dock address book in hopes it would change the "internal" mail book, but to no avail. It id difficult to add a recipient to an outgoing e-mail via the dock address instead of the apple mail address book.

Mac OS X Lion Server :: Email Address Requires Host Name In Address Field

May 5, 2012

I'm trying to setup mail on Lion Sever (7.3). The only way I can get it to accept incoming mail is to specify the whole FQDN of the server in the address.For example the domain name is example.com and I have a user set up called john. Sending mail to john@server.example.com works.

But sending mail to john@example.com (which is what I want) returns an error:
554 554 5.7.1 <john@example.com>: Relay access denied (state 13).

For internal DNS, I have:
example.com - primary zonemail.expample.com - alias server.example.comserver.example.com - 192.168.1.2 [URL] - alias server.example.comMX record [URL]

I see references here to problems in mail on 7.3 but not this specific problem.

Mac OS X (10.7.3)

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Address Book - Address Editing For Group Members?

May 20, 2012

how to specify which of several email addresses should be used for a member of a group.  It starts by selecting the menu item "Edit > Edit Distribution List."  From there it explains how to select the desired address for a specific person.  All well and good... 

BUT... 

Try as I might, doing various combinations of name or group selections in the address book window, I cannot seem to get the "Edit Distributuion List" item to be un-greyed.  Effectively, the program is not allowing me to do the edit function I need to do on this one group member. 

Am I missing the secret handshake in this process?  Why should it be this hard to do this simple function? 

Which raises the larger question of "What did Apple do to the Address Book application in general?"  This issue is only the tip of my iceberg.  The whole app seems to be harder to use than before.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Add An Address From The Address List In MAIL?

Jun 11, 2012

This is probably a stupid question, but why isn't there an address contact button that you can click on in a new message from MAIL? Am I missing something here? In all previous versions of the OS one could just do that and a list of contacts popped up and then you could click on one and it would go to the "To" slot. There's got to be an easier way than to open the contact book, find an address, copy it, then place it in the message "To" slot.
