Safari :: Configuring IPv6 In Mac OS X V10.6.7 Or Later?
May 10, 2012
I 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.

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?

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

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.

Why can't I ping my Lion Server via it's IPv6 address (using a tool on the provider's network) where IPv4 works all the time?

I 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

found today that 10.7.4-OS X doesn't handle IPv6-autoconfiguration.Â
At tcpdump I see the "Router Advertisments" but the configd can't answer with "Router Solicitation":
Jun 29 16:37:51 tksmac configd[16]: RTADV en1: send Router Solicitation: failed, Operation not permitted  All other devices in the same network works fine with IPv6 (autoconfig). 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?

I normally use a phto editing program called Nikon Capture NX2, but there's one pix I want to lopen/print from iPhoto. However, when I open the iPhoto application it defaults to iPicture Library and will show me only one folder. How do i convince iPhoto that I want to open a pix from a different folder? I've tried copying the photo to the folder that iPhoto opens but it doesn't show. Import doesn't work either.

Early in the upgrade progress bar, where it says: "Configuring Installation", with less than 3 or 4mm of progress on the progress bar (18" screen, 1280x1024), it just hangs. It sits there and does nothing more. Both on my PowerMac G5 and my brand new Mac mini. If I wait for forever, and then power down, and restart, it starts right back up in to 10.5.5, and software update will tell me it wants to install 10.5.6.

I've created several signatures in Apple Mail Preferences to be used randomly and to appear beneath the text or image in an outgoing email. I've left the box empty next to "Place signature above quoted text." Process works OK with text, however, when sending a photo, the signature continually appears above the image. Is there some way to have the signature always appear at the end of the email when sending images or photos?

I have an 17" i7 MBP which has connection issues with my Airport Express. Sometimes, it connects on the first try, other times I have to turn the airport, on the MBP, on and off several times before it will connect. Sometimes that won't even work, so I put the mbp to sleep, wake it back up, then it will connect. Once connected, it works fine and never have any of the disconnect problems I have read about.
The other weird thing is that at the office, where we use non-apple wireless access points, I never see an issue.

Hoping someone can provide a few beginners tips here...
I'm trying to set up Remote HD app on my iPhone 4 so that I can tap in to my iMac remotely. I've set it up for the wireless LAN at home, but want to set it up to tap in over the web.
The Remote HD website gives a small paragraph on it but it doesn't really mean anything to me.
[URL]
Can you give me any pointers on how to set this up?

configured a new Mac Pro to run just Windows XP natively with NO OS X operating system, NO Bootcamp etc. I am trying to determine if I should sell my Mac Pro or if I can simply rebuild it using only Windows XP?

Basically I've got my mac mini (1.5 core solo) going optical SPDIF into my Sony Surround amp (6.1) But If I play music from itunes i don't get 2.1 I get 2.0. I've been arsing around with Audio Midi Setup all evening to no avail, whatever I do it won't let me do anything other than stereo left and right, which of course is bloody annoying because it means the bass channel is completely missing.

I've just started using USB Overdrive and Its great how you can remap every mouse button, but cursor movement still feels sluggish and mac-like.
Can someone please post (screenshot of) their settings for speed and acceleration that is required to achieve windows-like movement?

I am attempting to set up a wireless network with an AirPort Express in order to access the Internet from my iPod touch. My computer is a 2002 PowerBook G4/667 running OS X 10.4.11 (the latest OS it can run), and according to an Apple Store Genus, either the AirPort card or the AirPort antenna is shot, rendering the PowerBook useless as a wireless device. Adding to the pain, my cable modem has only one Ethernet port. Hence, I have purchased a Belkin F5D5050 USB/Ethernet adapter (and installed USBPegasusEthernet 1.0.9 as a kernel extension to make it work).
Which I plan to use to connect the AirPort Express to the computer (via the Ethernet port on the Express and the USB port on the PowerBook). The modem would be connected via Ethernet directly to the PowerBook's sole Ethernet port. Everything I read on the Internet says that I should be able to configure the AirPort Express over Ethernet via AirPort Admin Utility, but the utility doesn't seem to see the Express, even if I directly connect them to each other (one Ethernet port to the other). How I could make my network operational?

how to get it setup nicely. [URL:..] So first thing, I need to physically install the drive. Is there a good tutorial for a macbook pro 4,1 (old style aluminum) that shows you how to swap the hard drives? I'd like to just mirror the contents of my internal drive, and I've got an external 2.5 inch enclosure to help me. So, do I take out my current drive and put that in the enclosure and startup and mirror to the SSD (with super duper?)? Or is there a better way. Also does it need any special drivers or setting up? And finally are there any tips on perfomance tuning and optimizations I can make.

I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro after being a lifelong Dell laptop user. My roommate has always had a wireless router that both of us used to connect our laptops too. It is secure and requires a password to use.
Now, when I try to connect using my MacBook, the AirPort asks for the password, which I enter, and it says it is connected and gives me an IP address (the bars are full too).....however, I can not get onto any internet site using Safari or connect to iTunes.
When I disconnect and connect to an un-secure network in my building (an Apple Network according to the name), I am able to get to sites and iTunes instantly.

I am new to MACS as most of my experience has been with windows OS. I recently took some classes in video production (which initiated me to the MAC environment) but abandoned it due to frustration caused I believe by under-resourced computers in our lab (Mac Pro w just 3GB RAM running Final Cut Pro X) too many hours wasted watching the rainbow windmill. My offer to buy 16GB of RAM and loan it to them for a test was rejected.I want to continue working on video editing, so found a couple Power MACs and FCP v5.1. One is a 1.8Ghz dual (bought before I knew better) and the other a late 2005 Quad which I am configuring for editing. It currently has 10GB or RAM and I expect to bump that to the 16GB limit. The hard drive space shocked me. Who would design a case like that to hold just 2 drives? I see that additional internal drive cages are made by 3rd parties and am considering that. But before I get too involved, I need to learn more about MACs.I obviously bought these used and didn't get any install discs. There are 2 drives in the Quad. A 500GB holds about 100GB for the OS and applications. The second drive is 250GB and empty. As I understand it, the Quad supported only SATA version 1 (150MB/s) correct? Will it support 2TB drives?
I'd like to separate the OS and APs from the data and think that the 250GB drive would suffice for that purpose. Can the files on the boot drive be cloned to the 250GB drive so I can use it to boot from? In the alternative, I might replace both with 2TB drives if the OS (10.5.8) will support that. The primary concern here is to keep all the existing APs functional.I am just now taking a linux class and the advice there is to create lots of different partitions. Onr for the kernel and system files, another for APs, etc and to create a swap file on a different drive for optimal performance. I think that would be the same for the scratch file for video rendering.
Aside from the 2 HD bays, I am studying the idea of a SATA card that would support internal as well as external sata devices. Given that rendering is processor-intensive, is there any advantage to adding a SSD via a SATA card running at 3 or 6GB/s? One reference I read indicated that the video can't be processed faster than the existing HDs can take it. If true, then I wouldn't see much advance in adding faster drives. But if someone that ahs experience with such, I'd like to get some input.As to the 1.8 Dual G5 that I grabbed before i 'discovered' the Quad, I'll probably use that more for video capture since its PCI-X slots will accomodate my video capture cards inputting mostly miniDV tape media.

I'm leaning towards picking up a 1TB Barracuda 7200.11 to throw in my empty slot. I'm not a huge fan of Seagate these days, but this seems like the best choice of drive at this size. I've got a Dual 2.3 G5 with 6.5 gigs of memory.
I'm doing a lot of video editing with Final Cut Pro and want to setup this drive to store my editing environment. So it's only being used as a storage device. All the initialization specs I see are to configure the drive as the bootable drive. Can anyone point me to some specs to set this up as a storage drive?

I use Macs in a publishing business and have done so since 1986. I have read entries here where one user wants to buy/configure equipment that will last five years or be able to last longer than considered typical. I have read the replies indicating that is not possible, too much change and evolution, buy every 2-3 years, and all that. Since 1986 I have had these models: Mac Plus, IIci, 8600, and most recently a G4 1.25 Ghz MDD. I am writing this post on the G4. It is about eight years old. Look at the number of models I list and do the math. Those are the only machines I have had since 1986. I don't believe I could get this kind of service from an iMac or laptop. Note: The 8600 is still my scanning station, run as required.
What I learn is the computer does what it could do initially as well as it ever could. The problems eventually emerging are multiple. Increasing potential for hardware failure, inability to run newer software as operating systems fall behind, and today, an inability to run the most current browsers due to OS falling behind. I want capability to run newer versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, and some CAD or solid modeling software. The G4 is doing what it did initially just as well as it ever did. It just can't move forward...........................

I just configured my Gmail IMAP account in Mail.app. In the Settings > Labels section of Gmail, I unselected the "All Mail" label. In Mail.app, I chose the Gmail > Trash mailbox and then "Use this mailbox for Trash" from the Mailbox menu, and did the same for Spam and Drafts.
Now there are no mailboxes listed in the Gmail mailbox, but it still appears there at the top of the mailbox list with a little triangle next to it. When I click on the triangle to expand, there's nothing in there - but the mailbox won't go away. It's an off-white color whereas all the other mailboxes are the standard bluish color.

I just purchased a new Mac Pro (early 2009 Quad Core" 2.66 (2009/Nehalem), and a second (1GB) internal hard drive. I would like to transfer my the applications, files, and profile from my Macbook Pro (early 2008 Core 2 Duo" 2.5) to the Mac Pro. I also want to install with Boot Camp Windows XP Pro (SP3) on a separate hard drive. I want the XP drive to be the 640 GB hard drive that came with the Mac Pro, and the MacOS drive to be the added 1GB hard drive. I want the Windows drive to have 4 logical partitions ( C, D, E, and F) with the C, D, and E being NTFS (so they can exceed 32GB) and, F drive being FAT (for read/write compatibility with MacOS). I've been doing a fair amount of reading both on this forum and elsewhere, and think I have good plan to accomplish the setup. But, a lot of what I'm planning to do is new to me. So, before executing my plan, I wanted to get some feedback from the experts on this forum as to whether my plan is a good one, or needs some modification.

I installed windows 7 on Basecamp but I can't figure out how to configure it to work wirelessly with my airport base station. Is there a specific driver to install? If yes would it be on apple or windows website? If this helps I'm using an AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x93) card that came with the MBP.

I was configuring Mac Mail v-4.4 with my new provider - Primus.ca. We created a new account and when I went back to do a test, all my messages were gone from the inbox. Sent messages are gone as well. I have some files as well and they are fine. I'd really like to get them back but have no idea where to look or how I managed to do this.

Just bought a new aluminum MacBook 2.0 GHz with the stock RAM from my local Apple Store on Saturday for my Girlfriend. I tried to update the software the first night on Dial up and the next morning the progress bar said, Configuring Installation. It was at the same point when I returned later in the afternoon. Today we had high speed internet installed and after I set up the AirPort base station I tried the update and it did the same thing. I repaired permissions through the disc utility and had the TechTool Deluxe CD give it a look over and no issues were found. I used the disc utility from the installation disc to be sure. The same update went just fine on my MBP.

I was trying to access my father's wireless network while I was home for a week. I found a utility to configure for a mac (my dad only has Windows), but after running it, and it failed to find the router, my airport will not turn on. The option to "turn AirPort on" is grayed out and cannot be clicked. I have attached two pictures to illustrate. I have restarted twice to no avail.
