I have been having problems with wifi on my Macbook Air 4,2 and I wanted to try turning off IPv6. However, when I go to network settings to do so, the option to turn it off is not there. I've included a screenshot to show you what I see when I go to network settings. I don't know why this option would have disappeared. Is there a program that could have disabled this? Â

My airtunes was randomly breaking when trying to stream to my Airport Express and AppleTV. The dreaded (-15000) unknown error message kept appearing. Through searches here and elsewhere, I found a solution that has worked for me. I have turned off IPv6. System Pref >> Network >>Advanced >> TCP/IP >> Configure IPv6: set it to "off". It was on "Automatically" prior to my change. This switch fixed my problem with the airtunes streaming. My question is: Will this prevent me from fully utilizing anything else that my require IPv6? I'm not familiar with what that might be, or why we even need it. From what I've read, it's likely something needed or utilized on a large network, but at home, it seems unnecessary. Am I missing something or will I regret having to turn it off?

Does SMB on Mac OS X share over IPv6 as well as IPv4? I would rather my sharing be limited to the local ipv4 and maybe 6 network, and not to the entire world. Are there any configuration settings I can play with in order to configure SMB in this respect?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Macbook Air OS X Lion. I have been facing slow internet browsing problem from quite a while now. I checked the forums and found that lot of people are facing the same problem. Also found that disabling IPv6 or setting it to manual mode will help fixing the issue. But another big challenge is how to do it. I tried setting it to manual which would need router address, IPv6 address and prefix length which is supposed to be collected from your ISP. Unfortunately Comcast hasnt implemented IPv6 yet so couldnt find that information.

I am using free.fr in France, and IPv6 is enabled as part of the service. There are certain services running that were only accessible to the local network, but I now find that if I know the IPv6 address of the machine they are world accessible. I tried limiting services to be only accessible to the local machine, by adjusting the settings in the Firewall configurations in the system preferences, but the services still seem to be world accessible. Do the firewall configurations ignore IPv6? Is there any way to make it so that services are only available to machines in the local networks via IPv6. I suspect I going to need a command line tool or a third-party tool.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get an older Macbook Pro running 10.5.1 online and it is not working. I'm currently using 3 other Macs on the WiFi network all running Snow Leopard, so I know that network works. I tried renewing the dhcp lease and I have it set to using dhcp and to configure ipv6 automatically, and there are 2 ip addresses under dns servers (I typed these in because they showed on my other MBP). I can't even upgrade the MBP because I have no ethernet cable and can't plug it in to update it. I can do to get it to work?Â

I am a freelance video producer and I am trying to take video screen shots for a tutorial. However, when I begin typing anything in for a URL, Safari lists not only frequent sites I visit, but also my current history. I have tried using "private browsing" but it still continues to list everything I've been to once I type "www", which doesn't make any sense. Is there any option to disable it, or do I have to back to using Chrome?

I came across a computer that had something like a "DVD MOVIE" file.
It was basically vob files packaged inside a "DVD MOVIE" so when you clicked on it, it would play like a dvd movie. I have extracted some VOB files from a DVD disc to have a "VIDEO_TS" folder containing the movie, but of course I can only play the VOB files in a program like VLC...my question is - What do i need to do to put these vob files into this "DVD FILE" folder or whatever so i can just click on it and it play a normal dvd? It may have said "Movie file"..
The threading option is making mail difficult to use, I have looked everywhere and can't figure out how to disable it, I am running lion.

It seems that since 10.7.3, the "Resume" "FEATURE" now does not obey the setting the General Control Panel (I have Resoter windows when quitting and re-openning apps un checked). Â I have an app that is causing the system to hang, but when I send shutdown -h now as root from the terminal and then restart the machine, ALL the applicatinos and their windows reopen, no matter what I do, including the one that is hanging.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI got a new MacBook Air a couple months ago, and transferred the data and settings from my old MBA. Ever since then, it has entered 'single-app-mode' which can't be turned off. I have tried (in Terminal): defaults write com.apple.dock single-app -bool falsekillall Dock To no avail. No matter what, it stays in single app mode.This is making my MBA virtually unusable. I can't drag and drop between apps, I can't see the iOS simulator and XCode at the same time when debugging, I can't even reference a document while writing an email, unless I print it. It's absolutely terrible. To make the problem even more annoying, when clicking an icon in the Dock to switch apps (really the only way other than command-tab) it doesn't open the last window used. e.g. If I have three Safari windows open, and I switch from email back to Safari, it will open the least recent window, so I have to hunt for the window that was open last. Every single time! If I log in as a different user, the problem doesn't exist, so it's definitely a configuration issue. I do notice, when I use 'defaults read com.apple.dock' that "single-app" is listed in quotes, while other settings are not:

I just plugged in a 2nd LCD monitor via the thunderbolt connection and used a mini display adapter. I was just wondering how I can turn it off without unplugging it. I googled and came across an app called 'switchX' but I'd rather not install another app.
