Ethernet card not being detected on my iMac 20-inch early 2008

Hello

A few days ago my ethernet started playing up on my mac. I tried different cables and routers but no solution. All my other devices are very well via the same port. I tried to remove and then add a configuration in the network system preferences tab, but the ethernet option is now missing.

Then, I went into system information and found a mean message:

I really need help. A Wi - Fi connection is good enough for me.

By chance I just started having this problem, too. Yesterday everything was ok and I have disabled by Mac before hitting the bed; This morning the Integrated NIC is no longer detected and I have the exact symptoms that you have.

A few extras:

(1) I have boot camp, and the NETWORK adapter still works perfectly when it is started in Windows

(2) I use a power adapter carrier online, and the led indicates that the cable is connected. as soon as I unplug the end of my mac, it turns off

(3) I did PRAM reset without success and SMC

(4) I started in diagnosis and everything is ok; I carried on the forest, where you can browse the site of support, and it worked even with wifi disabled, so clearly he was going off the coast of my wired connection

(5) I started in recovery and had the same experience as point 4 - the network card worked perfectly

If all this seems to indicate something being off on the BONE itself.

    iMac (24 inch, early 2009), frequency of 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Dup, NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB - no reason apparent other than a mouse click randomly, the computer freezes for anything between a few minutes and maybe 15-20 minutes.  Then, he thaws and answer to all clicks made while it was frozen.

    Sorry, that didn't work.

    Unfortunately, you can not replace the component without replacing the motherboard together.

    What I recommend is that buy you an external usb to rj - 45 10/100/100 (gigabit) ethernet card and that should take care of the problem for you.

  • Media card reader disappears from leading to the card not being recognized under computer

    Original title: two years with media player card hardware/software problem?

    When I insert my card player media the G, H, I and J readers disappear which leads to the card is not recognized. If I completely shut down my computer, they come back and the card will read for this session. This does not happen if I do a simple reboot. My computer is not quite two years old and it lasts since almost the beginning. Dell has replaced once the card reader and cable three times and the motherboard. The last technician who came to me thinking that it might be a software Bus USB error. All drivers have been updated. I am at my wits end, because the problem does not happen whenever I inserted the card, but now, it happens more frequently. This problem seems to occur with the map of media player. And Yes, it happens with all Media Player cards. I mainly use this computer to upload photos. I was told NOT to back up my computer because, if it was a software problem I just would be to reinstall the problem once I did a restore. Is there someone out there who can help?

    Hi Chris,

    I was finally brave enough to install the updates of the firmware. I went from the 7.8 version version 7.12, but no luck. Initially, it worked, but once my computer came into fashion 'sleep', and I returned to use again, it didn't work. This has been a problem for almost all the time that I owned the computer. Very very frustrating!

    Any other suggestions, anyone?

    Thank you

  • Early 2008 iMac RAM Upgrade

    Hello

    I have my old iMac bought in early 2008. It works very well and did an amazing job. However as time progressed so also the OS X has progressed on my iMac too. Snow Leopard, I moved to El captain.

    The maximum memory I have is 4 GB of RAM (2 GB * 2 LOCATIONS). But recently, I discovered that there are a lot of buffering going on and I'm sure it's due to lack of RAM. A lot of paging happens I think between the RAM and the HARD drive.

    My question to the readers of this message is:

    Can I go head and buy a Stick 4 GB RAM (DDR2 - 800 Mhz - 4 GB of RAM). What might be the implications of material. Although the chip itself is very expensive, I fear not buy if this will help my iMac to better respond to requests.

    Comments appreciated by all those who have done this kind of upgrade.

    Thanks for reading my message.

    Best wishes

    DeSmet

    Your iMac can actually use up to 6 GB of ram. Buy ram from a friendly seller Mac as OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/

    or critical http://www.crucial.com

    That said even with 6 GB your old iMac can't run your expectations with El Capitan. An older operating system like Mountain Lion might better work in 4 or 6 GB of ram on your machine http://www.apple.com/shop/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion

  • XP, video card not detected

    I have an old HP Pavilion with an integrated GPU. I installed XP and was able to install a missing audio driver. However, the system is still missing the SM Bus controller.  I installed the software of my new GPU on a disc and I changed the default on the BIOS to the PCI-E. I have physically installed a Radeon HD 5450 GPU, but the system does not detect. Can you help me?

    Hi fabiolivorno,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. According to the description of the problem, your video card is not getting detected.

    It looks like a hardware problem, I suggest you contact HP support for better support. You can also contact the local Tech store for that matter.

    Missing SM Bus controller problem, it appears that if the chipset drivers are slow to be installed. I suggest to find the chipset on the CD drivers and install them.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

  • PCI Ethernet card does no not after PCI slot

    I have a card to PCI Ethernet D-Link DFE-520TX in one of the PCI slots and connected to a Linksys router.

    I wanted to install a new sound card so I changed the Ethernet card to an adjacent PCI slot. (without uninstalling the Ethernet card)

    After you install the sound card, I found that I am not able to connect to internet!

    These are the observations I made:

    The connection icon says "Limited or no connectivity."
    When I click on icon of connection, status shows bytes sent/received something like that...
    Bytes sent: 4536 Receieved: 0
    The IP seems to be assigned by AutoIP.

    I tried to uninstall the Ethernet card drivers and install again for the new PCI slot but no luck

    Finally, I gave up and restored the adapter Ethernet to its former PCI slot... and surprise, his does not work here too!

    A I miss out on something?
    Any help with this would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    His work...

    In fact the IP, DNS etc. had been configured manually.

    When I removed the LAN card, all fields has scored zero, I wasn't expecting that to happen!

    Thanks anyway!

  • Ethernet card disappear once the cable is not connected

    Hello

    I bought a HP Pavilion dm4-1164us laptop computer about a month ago.

    I installed the working node Lock software for my MAC ID of the ethernet card in this laptop. When it's hanging of Ethernet cables, the software works very well.

    Every time when the ethernet cable is plugged in no, or if I start the machine without ethernet connection, I can't run my software. I checked using command prompt and found that in this case, the ethernet card disappears.

    A friend suggested to check whether it is because of the power saving mode to cut ethernet card when there is no ethernet connection. I went to the control panel to find the configuration of the ethernet card and disable the option "all the computer to turn off this device to save power". After the reboot, the software still does not work and the Ethernet card is not yet there. Although I expect to see its existence with the status of "disconnected."

    Anyone familiar with this please help! Thank you very much.
