trying to erase macmini, but losing internet

I need to delete my old MacMini, but the internet is not connected when I

Turn it back on. My service provider said that it is a product problem?

Thank you

Why do you need Internet to erase the hard drive? According to your profile you are running Snow Leopard on your Mini. So, see the following:

Snow Leopard erase and install

Remember to only back up your files.

  1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
  2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
  3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears and wait for loading to complete.
  4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of sheets to (1) on the menu drop down. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
  5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
  6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
  7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
  8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.

  • Losing Internet connection because of the default gateway is not available.

    I keep losing internet connection and when I run the troubleshooter, it comes up saying "the default gateway is not available". I have an HP with Intel dv6985se. I was advised to do the following:
    I had the same problems of chance which I fixed it by simple disabling 'SLEEP ON DISCONNECT' SideScalng disconnect

    1 Access Device Manager (Control Panel > system and security > system > Device Manager)
    2. expand the network adapters
    3. Select the adapter that you are using (if more than 1 Repeat step 4 to 8 for each adapter)
    4. right click and select Properties
    5 click Advanced
    6. If you have installed Nvidia Ethernet configuration click the button
    7. scroll to the bottom of the list and disable the device sleep on disconnection and receive Side Scaling
    8. save the settings

    I appreciate this help info but none of this applies to my computer has. In my device under 'Network adapters' Manager, I do not have Nvidia, Asus and AMD, which is listed under my network cards is "Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN" and "Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI - E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20)".

    The help that I've provided says disabling "Sleep on Disconnect" and "Receive Side Scaling"... or those who are in one of my "adapter properties tab advanced options" for both my Intel and Realtek... no where does say anything about sleep on disconnect or side scaling.

    I was online with HP cat many times and Ive tried the options they have provided that is basically what I've found here but nothing has worked so far! My computer is 1 1/2 old and is preinstalled with Vista 64-bit. Recently, I have completely restored my computer with Windows 7 64 bit, and ever since then, I can't download anything or talk to HP or any kind of help because I lose the connection. Could someone please help me solve this problem... to be frank and honest he pisses me off beyond words that I never had this problem when I'm on Vista!

    I don't know what else I can provide to better help me to solve this problem, but if anyone would like more information on what programs etc, my computer has let me know and I will provide the information. Below, I'm pasting the info I received through my history of troubleshooting like a Notepad of paper Network Diagnostic and Route.Print document.

    If the error does not recur in safe mode then there is probably a startup item or service causes the error. Follow the steps on the following link to locate the item or service responsible for the error:

  • Trying to erase and reset my phone with no luck!

    Trying to erase and reset my iPhone 5 s factory for a member of the family can use it.

    I'm going to...

    Settings > general > reset > erase content and settings

    But... He asked my password Apple ID through the next steps. I entered a million times (and reset and added to my new phone which worked well), but this old phone just does not accept the password. So I can't wipe all my stuff or take off my Apple ID.

    Help!

    It seems you have the Activation active locking iCloud.

    You can try signing out iCloud in the settings on the device, and then try the restore.

    If this does not work, you can also try to remove device from 'find my iPhone' to iCloud.com

    Turn off find my iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

    If the phone is not listed on the site, it can be locked on a different account.

    Have you ever changed your Apple ID? The iPhone is smart enough to recognize when an Apple ID has been changed. If you have changed your Apple ID without signature on iCloud first, this could be the reason why you have trouble to remove the lock.

    If you have the original proof of purchase of the device, Apple will be able to remove the lock if the receipt is valid.

    I hope this helps!

  • Satellite L500 connection ok but no Internet after upgrade to Windows 7

    Hello
    I just upgraded my Satellite L500 to Windows 7 everything is fine except that I have no internet access. I have a strong connection to my wireless home network and can connect to other wireless devices to the network ok. I also tried to connect using cable, but I have the same problem - connected but no internet access.

    I ran ConfigFree utility and it does not find a problem. I ran the troubleshooter in Windows and it is unable to solve the problem but tells me that the wireless network doesn't have a valid IP configuration.

    I have reset the modem and the router, without effect.

    I checked all the drivers and BIOS are the latest versions.

    I tried to enter an IP address manually rather than get an automatically. Still no luck.

    Any ideas I can try? I hope someone can help.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    For me it sounds like that the problem is the router, and not the laptop because you wrote that with cable connected even happens on WLAN connection.

    If you go into the menu of the router, what is the status of the internet connection? Your router has a connection or not?

  • keep losing internet connection on PC laptop of HP Pavilion g6

    As above, I keep losing internet connection on PC laptop of HP Pavilion g6 and often have to go out to get it back. I had the laptop for over a year and have had this problem from day one. There is often no connection at all. I'll be on a a Bab beautiful site and then the next it just freezes. Sometimes clicking on dissconnect then reconnect will solve the problem. But most of the time that I have to turn it off, wait a few minutes and then restart your computer. It does not always if I have to do it again. As above, I have had this problem from day one. When I got it home it has no connection to be seen. I took it streight back to PC world, they passed it and connections were there. When I got home, turned on others were there, but not my own. After the market again was mine. After that, it was OK for a week or two, then I started having the problems that I have now. My son sitting about three feet from me on his laptop has no problems at all so I know that it is the laptop and not my router. My wife, my son and my phone are also on the internet through the router when it fires. Now and then it will be OK for a few days, but most of the time it turns off several times a day. It's a good pain as each else with the laptop is great.

    Hi @wiggie ,

    Thanks for your post, I will do my best to help.

    What trust do not forget it is very helpful if you include your exact model of HP laptop and operating system.  HP produces many models of Pavilion G6

    How can I find my model number or product number?

    It sounds as if after a period of the computer is the ' turn off.

    You would check the Please this setting.

    Go to the Device Manager

    Click on the adpaters network to expand the list

    Right-click on the network adapter and choose Properties

    Click the Power Managerment

    Please uncheck allow the computer to turn off this device to save power if it is checked.

    Repeat the above for all types of additional network adapters.

    I hope this helps.

    I am currently using a cable connection to connect to the internet. Yesterday after uninstalling ZoneAlarm and SuperAnti Spyware my computer connect to the internet.  The box works properly because my phone line crosses and it works. Usually, if there is a problem with the actual adapter (box), that the phone will not work. I have reset the box many times, turned off for 30 minutes and reconnected. All the indicators show that the adapter is connected and functional. But my internet is not working.

    I also have:

    1. Tried ipconfig/release / renew restarted.  It says media disconnected however the link blinks on my cable adapter. It doesn't have an IP address. "Media State...: media disconnected > connection - specific suffix DNS.:" He also says disabled BIOS.
    2. I also tried EasyTether as an alternate. The connection is done however I can't access the internet.
    3. I've updated all the drivers of network, they seem to work correctly, there is not! or X (yellow or red) beside him. Ipv4 and the IPv 6 are verified.

  • WRT54G good signal wireless but no internet connectivity.

    I have a WRT54G that has worked well for about a year. Last Sunday, I installed a couple of small updates from Microsoft on my main computer (cable via an ethernet cable from the router). At the same time, I installed service pack 3 on my girls (wireless) counter top.

    Since that time, on my three computers wireless I shows the strength of very good signal from the router but no internet connectivity. Internet works fine on the computer by cable.

    I have reset the router, no luck. Updated the firmware, no luck. Released and renewed until the cows came home and still no luck.

    I uninstalled the router of my main computer and reinstalled. During the installation it tells me that the router cannot find the internet even if the computer that works is connected through the router.

    I tried a different router (even part old version) which was a router to work when uninstalled about six months ago. I went through the installation process and it is the same, the router cannot find the internet.

    Is it possible to have two bad routers that the internet can pass through but the router cannot detect?

    At first I thought changing the setting of the Microsoft updates, but I restored my computer to a date before the updates and still have the same problem.

    Any help that anyone can give is most appreciated.

    Well there are some knows the problem with Service Pack 3 from Microsoft with wireless connectivity. You can uninstall SP3 from your computer and it will not solve the problem.

  • WAP54G on a BEFSR81 - network a lot, but no internet...

    In order to save a few bob upgrading my network to wireless, I decided to buy a WAP to my wired LAN that works very well via a wired Linksys BEFSR81v3.0 8 port router. The alternative would have been to buy a 8-port wireless router which is not only relatively expensive but means basically I couldn't disable the wireless feature as and when I wanted to (no doubt someone will tell me there is a parameter that would disable the wireless feature but not so easily that disconnect the * beep * thing...) In any case, after watching and taking account of the fact that I was already using Linksys, I opted for a WAP54G unit.

    Setup was fairly easy, and after a bit of tinkering, I had network access superb but not internet whereupon be it wireless, including the laptop or the wii.

    I tried to use guided help which proved to be as well used as a chocolate fire since on my ROUTER support is no longer available because it was out of warranty despite the fact I'd just bought another linksys product (such as WAP). To complicate matters as I felt the need to phone NHS24 for blood pressure, they summarily directed me to a FAQ for WAP! I hear about not paying attention. The problem is clearly with the router since the WAP can already access the network (perhaps I'm wrong and I need to look at cloning MAC or maybe find some sort of Relay IP - I don't know what I'm asking). One or more tuther prevents devices wireless through and into the big bad world.

    That's why I'm looking for someone who pay raises constructive questions with the ultimate desire to reach a satisfactory conclusion not punt on drivel precrits to customers in the alleged assumption that have all been delayed and cannot read a bloody manual and attention.

    Can anyone help?

    Steve.

    Okay, I just need to clarify some things.

    When any device within your local network setting (anything on the side non-internet (WAN)) should have parameters that reflect your LAN only. Your router is any translation between your local network and the real world (Internet). The only exception to this is DNS. Some people find it is better to use external public DNS servers, particularly when it comes to games.

    In short, this is a generic installer that you can adapt to your situation.

    Router:

    LAN IP=192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0

    WAP54G:

    IP=192.168.1.245/255.255.255.0

    Default gateway = 192.168.1.1

    Customer:

    192.168.1.?/255.255.255.0 (? = anything that it is not used by the router or AP) remember that all devices require their own unique IP address.

    DNS = 192.168.1.1

    Gateway = 192.168.1.1

    I did not mention security, but all devices must share the same security settings.

    If the WAP54G is configured as a Repeater/bridge must be on the same channel as the device that it is repeat/bridge

  • WRTG54S to connect to the network, but not internet

    I have a WRTG54S and Mediacom 12mbps. My router worked fine on my old laptop (a Dell Vista), he was sitting in a box for about 6 months and now that I have a new (Sony running 7) I can connect to my network, but not internet. I have updated the firmware of 7.6 to 7.8 without change. I have tried no security, wep and wap without change. Also, I cloned the MAC, once again no change. Windows cannot detect all problems, and when I try to activate the router to connect to the internet it always says connection failed. I can connect directly connected to the modem but not when connected to the router or wireless. Any ideas? Thank you

  • Windows 7 - connected to wireless but no Internet access

    I understand that this has been asked before and there are many "solutions" posted on different forums that are not relevant to my problem or simply do not work.

    A few weeks back, I was on vacation, my daughter called to ask if I had cut the internet router and BT Hub as she was not able to connect to the internet. It had been fine the day before. I didn't and I couldn't do a lot the lot so said I would sort when I got home.

    I just spent the better part of a week trying to access the internet on his laptop, a Toshiba running Windows 7. I know that the internet and wireless works perfectly as his cell phone is sitting right next to my Sony Vaio running Windows 8. Also, my Sky TV, Kindle, Iphone and iPad to my wife connect seamlessly. It would seem that the possible culprit is a Windows Update which took place on 31 August. I tried to go back to her but she was advised by a friend to uninstall the update and she tried to make a file at the same time and now the reversion will not work.

    When the laptop starts up, until I connect, there is a dialog box indicating a wireless connection and correct network is listed.

    However, after I connected, even if the wireless connection is still showing as a good signal and 'Connected', it is currently connected to: section shows network not identified; No Internet access.

    I ran the gamut of the instructions in uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers of network, playing with the settings of Virtual WiFi miniport and almost everything that is proposed on the other forums but not luck so far.

    All I know is that someone will want to see the command ipconfig/all results so here they are. I removed the spaces in line to get them on a single page.

    Short using 'rebuild the hard drive' Toshiba, I am now at a loss to know what to do. I would also like to know WHY this happened and how it could be avoided in the future.

    Any constructive help appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
