network

Hi all, Im currently attempting to map a network to my MacBook so it can be accessed by multiple devices. I have plugged the hard drive into the back of my router. (router is a 'F@ST3864V2' supplied by my internet provider). I have set up to utilise the USB port and the hard drive following...

I have a Mac Pro 5,1 running Mojave 10.14.6 connected over ethernet that I'm using to share a disk for my two laptops to use as Time Capsule. My 11" MBA (2015) running Mojave 10.14.6 - no problem. I pointed time machine to the shared disk and in less than 12 hours it completed a sparsebundle...

I have a Mac mini 2018 i7 256GB storage and 8GB RAM. It runs Mojave. Very happy so far. I had to save money on the storage of course so I was lately running out of space. I sometimes connect my MBP on the network and use my other's Mac storage. A couple of days ago I used an old HDD and...

I am running a server in headless mode. It would be nice to be able to forward the native Notifications to another Mac the way Growl can. Does anybody know of an app for that? Should really be part of continuity.

I have changed my WiFi password and Apple TV 4 keep remembering old password and I went settings app and network and pick current network then forget this network and it just keep spinning spinning doing nothing. I tried pull power plug off and back in and still no different. I need Apple TV...

I store my iTunes library on a Synology NAS and access it from an SMB share. The library is larger the SSD in my Macbook, so I cannot store it locally. Does Time Machine back a library that is on a network drive? I entered Time Machine today and tried to navigate to the iTunes library share...

Hey all, I’ve reurposed my old 2011 MBP as a home “server” to run iTunes etc, and it’d also be nice if I could use it to share a drive for a Time Machine network share. I’ve tried sharing both a whole disk and a folder on it, with the TM option set in the shares “advanced” dialog, and tried...

I have a SMB connection to my NAS. In MacOS Mojave, but also in older MacOS/OS-X versions, I often get the message "The specified network name is no longer available". Often I don't get this message, but the connection is always broken after some time. This is annoying, for example when I want...

Given the upcoming transition to 5G, which cell carrier is likely to be most futureproof for current iPhones, especially since Apple won’t be making the jump to 5G anytime soon? I’m currently on Verizon, but since they’re shutting down CDMA sometime in 2019, I wonder how seamless that will...

Just wanted to get some opinions on mesh networking from anyone who cares to chime in. I have decided to retire the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express that I’m currently using, and I was about 2 days away from buying an Eero setup when the Amazon news broke, so I had to go back to the drawing...

I've always found these details so useful within Apple's AirPorts and was wondering if anyone could let me know of other routers that have a similar *live* feature. And all of this info is available within both the iOS and Mac apps. What I want is to see is; current data rate/link speed, current...

I know that people have asked this sort of question before, but I've always found it geared specifically for their own equipment, rather than in a general sense. How do users out there attach an encrypted drive to a network, be it a hard drive or raid, be it attached via ethernet or via a USB...

I bought the new MBP 2018 right after it came out and have enjoyed learning how to use it after a lifetime of Windows products. However, the one thing I can't figure out to save my life is how to set the network to Private or even how to create a home network. Used to be pretty straight-forward...

Inspired by the dicussion about the end of the Dropbox-Client for PPC I tried to establish file-sharing not only for my Tiger/Leopard-PPCs but also for os9. Connectivity with Tiger/Leopard(PPC) and late OSX (ElCap) works fine and is easy to establish. But it took me a while to find out, how...

Hello! I’ve got MBP 15 2017, Mojave. I’m playing video games using cloud platform based on realtime video streaming, so the connection stability is critical for me. I’m using wifi and almost everything works fine, except one thing: I’ve got some kind of lag every 5 minutes. Connection starts...

Hi everyone. I have my router and time capsule in the living room. The TC is connected to the router with Ethernet, and I then have multiple devices connected to the TC with Ethernet. Problem is that it’s a mess of wires and I need to add even more. So I’d like to move the router into the home...

Hi Everyone, I'm in a bit of a predicament and really could use some advice here. Firstly let me start by saying I love apple computers and have been using them now for 20+ years now! I also happen to love PC gaming with my ageing 2008 MacPro (via BootCamp) but it just can't cope anymore so my...

Hi guys I have a new iPhone X from Vodafone which is locked to Vodafone. Unfortunately they want me to use the device for three months before they unlock it for me. Can someone please advise me on how to get this unlocked? I have a macbook bro and can use software myself if there is guidance...

Hello friends, May I please ask you guys for some help? What's the best set-up to optimize speed and surface coverage with these elements? 2 story home over 2,000sq wired throughout with Cat6 and an Ethernet port in each room. Google Fiber, internet only (no TV) > Google modem/ router...

I have two network connections (wifi and ethernet) and I'd like to specify the wired connection for certain apps, is this possible? It is already first in the adapter list in system networking preference, but they still sometimes use wifi instead - (there is no in-app setting traffic has to be...
