I have managed to put a document into the Internal Modem Fax Queue, but I cannot get the job to actually Start sending.My MBP is connected to my DSL line via Airport.The Airport Base is the old Snow Flying Saucer. Maybe I need to connect it to the telephone line via its phone jack? And include the DSL filter in-line ?

I am trying to send and receive faxes from my internal modem on my macbook pro. I think the port I am plugging the phone line into is an ethernet port. Does this double up as a modem port or is there no port for me to plug in to?
I have tried everything else and think this is the problem.
If I cannot plug my phone line into the port how can I send and receive faxes on my computer?
I want to be able to fax on my Mac Pro. What are my options? I obviously don't have an internal modem. Here is my system info:
Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeo
2GB (2x1GB)
2xATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB
The iMac is a G3 Slot-load SE, and the PowerMac is a G4 450MHz AGP. I happen to have an AGP that only came with the telephone jack, but no modem card connected inside. Both modems look the same in photos: 661-2213 (slot load) & 661-2186 (AGP). Is the only difference that the newer one has flex K56?

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?

Any ideas? Could really do without the drive being cooked.
I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my Mac Pro and also backup using Time Machine. My main (startup) hard drive is close to failing-- before it does I want to transfer everything to a new internal drive. Seems to be there are several ways to do this:
1. Clone the original drive to the newer drive with 3rd party software (such as ChronoSync?)
2. Restore to the new HDD from Time Machine (which I believe requires me to clean install Snow Leopard on the new drive?)
3. Use Migration Assistant.
Which would be the best route?

One morning my Mac Mini would not startup, it would try to start up but after about 2 minutes the Apple would turn to the circle with a diagonal line through it. Fortunately I had installed Snow Leopard on my external Firewire 800 drive so I could startup from that drive. My internal drive now will not mount when starting from my external drive until I rebuild the drive using Drive Genesis and then run Volume Structures with Tech Tool V5.0. No other combination of utilities seems to work to make it mount. Not sure if that would makes sense to anyone that might know what is wrong and how to fix it so I could startup from my internal drive.
I have also tried to reinstall Snow Leopard but when starting from the install DVD the internal drive does not show up as an option for installation. I am trying to startup at least one last time from my internal drive since I have a Filemaker Pro 7 database which I have forgotten the password for but when starting up from my internal drive it opens since the password is stored in Snow Leopard. I have found programs using Windows to change or extract the FM7 password but I am trying not to spend the $30 to $40 for a program I will only use once.

Made a few missteps while cloning my drive to an external destination.I need to get my internal drive reloaded. Preferrably with a clone BACK. I keep getting kernel panics & cannot boot from what I have managed to clone back.cloned my drive (formatted SL X.6.8) to an external USB (yes, its a tad slow) in order to test drive my applications on Lion.This was done using Intego's Personal Backup. The backup wound up being unjournaled.Made a stupid mistake allowing the internal drive to be optimized by TechTool (it was journaled).I assume this could be the first cause of my problem.Since that internal partition would not boot any longer & the icon would not show, I used Disk Utility to repair the volume.The volume is a partition on my internal drive. The second partition is formatted for Windows. that's intact.After repairing, the icon is back.Apparently you can only back up Time Machine back to the original drive FROM the original drive (?). AlthoughI am not very recent in Time Machine backups, having turned it off a few weeks ago anyway.I then tried to clone BACK to the internal using CCC. It seems to have put the folders back.On start up I have the options of External clone (not the actual name), Windows partition, or "EFI" which may not be theinternal, rather a TechTool Boot of some sort.I'm going to try & retrace the same step - of clearing that internal partition & try to load a clone from the external clone one more time,to see if it becomes bootable.

So my mom comes into town and I offer to update her OS to Lion.
I go to have a look and her main internal HD is marked as the time machine backup?
How is this possiable and how do I change this? Lion won't let me install as "this disk is used or time machine backups"

I've installed Snow Leopard but now my mac won't start up. (It's a early 2008 mac pro so it should be able to handle it). All that happens is it loads past the apple logo, the rainbow wheel pops up, the background loads and the search icon (magnifying glass) appears but nothing else at all beyond that. It just waits for ages (a few times that note has appeared that say's I need to restart the computer).
I've tried.
1) Re installing it
2) Reinstalling it on a different partition (that had windows on before) but nothing seems to work.
I really need to keep all my data so I want to be careful.

How do I start my MacBook Pro from the Snow Leopard CD?

Whenever I boot up the SL install disk (either plugged in via USB drive or remote disc from my iMac), I select English as my language, "Continue" on the welcome screen, and when I get to the portion where I have to choose a disk to install onto, my MBA's hard drive has a yellow triangle on it and a caption underneath that says "Mac OS X Cannot Start Up From This Disk".
I've used Disk Utility to Verify and Repair, but still get the same result.
My MacBook Air is a 2nd generation machine, 120G hard drive (45G free), and MS Office 2008 installed. Other than that (and all my music and files), it's exactly as it came from Apple when I ordered it.
I have a new 09' 20" iMac Core Duo 2.66 with Snow Leopard.
Shut Down: = 7 Seconds. Tried 4 times, same result.
Start Up: 42-44 seconds to Login Screen
Login To Desktop fully loaded: = 6 Seconds
I am not impressed by the Start up or Login. I believe I clocked Leopard at the exact same speeds.
Overall I am not noticing much difference in anything.
This morning when I turned on my Imac, it presented me with the Mac HD icon, I had to select this to continue with the boot.
I've checked the startup options and the correct (and only) drive is selected, re selected it a few times just in case but this didnt have any effect.
Checked that none of my keyboard keys are sticking by unpluging it during the boot so the keyboard couldn't interfere, still the same.
I've tried a pram reset but don't seem to have any joy getting this to work. I hold the correct sequence of keys down just after the chimes ( cmd, option p and r) but that doesn't seem to get me the 2nd chime. Have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
Is this a sign my HDD is going? I use the system for a lot of video editing and photo editing, could this amout of usuage cause any problems

I had to reset my password through the Install Disc. Upon restarting my Mac, I chose to reset my Keychain Access password. However, it does not seem to have updated, and when I go to Utilities to open Keychain Access, it does not open. I created another admin account, and Keychain Access does not open for that either.

Recently my MBP has been running slowly, sometimes giving the spinning ball, not loading websites, etc. I ran disc check and it came up fine, so I thought I would completely clear the drive and start over with the Snow Leopard disc - then install mavericks (It seems a lot of websites are requiring a newer version of safari that I can't install because I'm running 10.6.8). So, I backed up everything I wanted, inserted the disc, and turned off the computer. I restarted and held the c key, and the screen went dim, then a dialog box popped up and told me to restart the computer. I've tried a number of times and have the same problem every time. When I restart from the HD I get this Problem Report:

this isn't an isolated issue - there are threads about this over at Apple and InsanelyMac: I'm unable to install Snow Leopard. When I run the installer, it'll tell me that "Mac OS X cannot be installed on "Macintosh HD", because this disk cannot be used to start up your computer" (Macintosh HD being my OS X volume, obviously). I'm seeing this issue on a relatively new 1.8ghz Macbook Air with a 128gb SSD - however, as far as I can tell from the other threads, the problem also affects iMacs and Macbooks.
Some people apparently attributed the issue to a PGP installation they had on their harddrive. Others found a file called backup.backupdb in their root - deleting it fixed the problem. However, most people don't have any of that installed on their computers and the upgrade still won't work. - if anyone has found a solution to the issue, please let me know :-( I'm stuck here. I don't have an external drive for the MBA and booting from a network drive has never worked on this particular machine - so I can't do a clean install, either.
I have installed Win7 on my Mac and it works fine other than the sound issue. However, when I tried to start up Snow Leopard using the option key, I get "EFI Firmware" and "Windows" as the the two options not the "HD Macintosh". anyway, when I select to start the Mac side, it takes about 10 minutes to start up-seriously. Once it starts up, everything is fine. Windows starts up immediately when I select it. I tried talking with Apple support but that was no help as they blamed it on the fact that Bootcamp does not support Win 7 at the moment.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn the last few days, when I hit a key to start up the computer, all I will get is a blank screen with the small, multi-colored, rotating disk icon. I can't get out of this unless I hold the power key down for about 5 seconds, which I know is probably not the right way to shut down.
